Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a thermal-mechanical model for GFRP laminate in Abaqus, I used continuum shell to define layups of lamiante, and created coupled temperature displacement step for investigating transient thermal deformation. However, when meshing, I could not find continuum shell element SC8RT for coupled temperature displacement analysis, only SC8R was able to select. Does anyone know how to find SC8RT, or does anyone have tutorial for coupled temperature displacement analysisi using SC8RT?

Sincerely,

Nan
