Hello there,
I'd like to ask whether I can define somewhere in the Abaqus CAE the temperature above which I would ,,glue'' the two parts together. For instance, I am welding two plates together (coupled transient-structural). Firstly I would push the two plates together (displacement control) using contact (interaction), then I'd like to add a heat source (moving) and when the temperature is above the set limit, I'd like to switch the contact to tie constraint (or rough...).
Is such a thing possible using only CAE (not user subroutines)? I couldn't find such an option anywhere.
Thanks for your support!
