Dear all, I'm using abaqus to model temperature effects on viscoelastic materials. Part of the creep dissipation would result in temperature rise in the model. *Inelastic heat fraction is used to quantify this part of energy. But The temprature always doesn't increase. There is a warning like"There is zero HEATFLUX everywehre in the model based on default criterion. " Coupled temperature-disp analysis is used. C3D8T is the element type. Can anybody have suggestions about this issue?
