5.1.28 Coupled pore-thermal elements

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Elements tested

C3D8PT    C3D10MPT   

Features tested

Tests are created to verify specialized aspects of coupled pore-thermal elements.

Problem description

Simple tests are created to test steady-state heat transfer, heat convection through pore fluid flow, use of latent heat, and solution mapping.

Results and discussion

In all cases the results are as expected.
