Alter to apply temperature-dependent material to higher-order
solid linear elements in a nonlinear solution (SOL 106).


Alter Name    tempmata.alt


Purpose

To allow the use of temperature-dependent material for
higher-order solid elements (HEXA20, TETRA10, and PENTA15)
in a SOL 106 run.  Note that HEXA20, TETRA10, and PENTA15
are linear elements.


Solution Sequence

SOL 106.


Input

Executive Control

Include 'tempmata.alt'.
 
Case Control

See description in the "Additional Documentation Section."
 
Bulk Data

The following parameter is required.

PARAM,TEMPMATE,x  - where x is the TEMPID that
                    the material lookup is performed
                    for the linear elements.


Output

Standard SOL 106 output.


Limitations

With the exception of the GAP elements, no other nonlinear
elements are allowed in the input file.

Sample Files

tempmat1.dat     SOL 106 run with TETRA10 and HEXA8 with
                 temperature-dependent material properties. 
                 There is no nonlinear elements in the problem.

tempmat2.dat     SOL 101 run with TETRA10 and HEXA8 with
                 temperature-dependent material properties.
