On the Constituent Physics Interfaces
•
The Heat Transfer in Solids interface is described in The Heat Transfer in Solids Interface of the Heat Transfer Module User’s Guide.
•
The Austenite Decomposition interface is described in The Austenite Decomposition Interface chapter.
•
The Solid Mechanics interface is described in The Solid Mechanics Interface of the Structural Mechanics Module User’s Guide.
Settings for Physics Interfaces and Coupling Features
The following checkboxes are selected in the Austenite Decomposition interface:
•
Compute effective material properties
•
Enable phase transformation latent heat
•
Enable transformation-induced plasticity
•
Enable thermal strains
The discretization for the temperature field in the Heat Transfer in Solids interface is set to Linear, because thermal strains are typically linear in the Solid Mechanics interface.
