Dear all,

I am modeling coupled temp-disp analysis.

I am using cohesive interaction between to surfaces and then for the damage initation criteria, I am setting the stress as a function of temperature as a tabular data, instead of just 1 stress value. When I apply temperature load, the strength is not reduced. I tried modeling the strength as a function of field but still no change. 

 Did anyone modeled this kind of analysis and give any hints? I am suffering for a week now and used all the options.    This seems to be a BUG in ABAQUS. Does ABAQUS knows this? 

Any hint, idea or comment would be appreciated.

Cheers,Hassan
