*PHYSICAL CONSTANTS
Specify physical constants.

This option is used to define physical constants necessary for an analysis; since Abaqus has no built-in units, no default values are provided. If a physical constant required for the analysis is not given, Abaqus will issue a fatal error message. The units used for the constants must be consistent with the remaining input data.

Optional parameters:

ABSOLUTE ZERO

Set this parameter equal to the absolute zero on the temperature scale chosen. For example, if the analysis uses temperature in degrees Celsius, set ABSOLUTE ZERO=–273.15.

STEFAN BOLTZMANN

Set this parameter equal to the Stefan Boltzmann constant. For example, STEFAN BOLTZMANN=5.669 × 10–8 joule per sec m2 kelvin4 in SI units.

UNIVERSAL GAS CONSTANT

Set this parameter equal to the universal gas constant. For example, UNIVERSAL GAS CONSTANT=8.31434 joule per mole kelvin in SI units.

SPL REFERENCE PRESSURE

Set this parameter equal to the reference pressure used for computing sound pressure level. For example, SPL REFERENCE PRESSURE=20. micro pascals for air in SI units.
