Description: For sequentially coupled thermal-stress analysis where the meshes in the heat transfer and stress/displacement analyses are the same, the temperatures for the stress analysis can be read as initial conditions or field variables from the results or output database file for the heat transfer analysis.

If the mesh for the heat transfer analysis is different from the mesh for the subsequent stress/displacement analysis and the temperatures are read from the output database file for the heat transfer analysis, ABAQUS can interpolate the temperature values from the nodes in the heat transfer model to the current nodal temperatures.

   FieldCreate: Other, Temperature: Distribution: From results or output database file,
