Integration in diffusive heat transfer elements

In all of the first-order elements (2-node links, 3-node triangles, 4-node quadrilaterals, 4-node tetrahedra, 6-node triangular prisms, and 8-node bricks) the internal energy storage term (associated with specific heat and latent heat storage) is integrated at the nodes. This integration scheme gives a diagonal internal energy matrix and improves the accuracy for problems with latent heat effects. Conduction contributions in these elements and all contributions in second-order elements use conventional Gauss schemes. Second-order elements are preferable for smooth problems without latent heat effects.

The one-dimensional element cannot be used in a mass diffusion analysis.

Forced convection heat transfer elements

These elements are available with linear interpolation only. They use an “upwinding” (Petrov-Galerkin) method to provide accurate solutions for convection-dominated problems (see “Convection/diffusion,” Section 2.11.3 of the Abaqus Theory Guide). Consequently, the internal energy (associated with specific heat storage) is not integrated at the nodes, which yields a consistent internal energy matrix and may cause oscillatory temperatures if strong temperature gradients occur along boundaries that are parallel to the flow direction.

Electromagnetic elements

These elements are available with linear edge-based interpolation only. The user-defined nodes define the geometry of the element but do not directly participate in the interpolation of the electromagnetic or, in the case of a magnetostatic analysis, the magnetic fields. However, temperature and predefined field variables are defined at the user-defined nodes and are interpolated to the integration points for evaluating material properties that are temperature and predefined field variable dependent.

Using element types C3D6 and C3D6T in Abaqus/Explicit analyses

When element types C3D6 and C3D6T are used in Abaqus/Explicit analyses, they appear in the output database (.odb) file as C3D6R and C3D6RT, respectively. In the data (.dat) file, C3D6 is referred to as C3D6R. You cannot specify C3D6R or C3D6RT as an element type for input.
