39.4 Using analytical fields

You can use analytical fields to define the following spatially varying parameters:

  • Film coefficients in surface film condition interactions

  • Film coefficients in concentrated film condition interactions

  • Load distributions over a region in a pressure load, shell edge load, and surface traction load

  • Temperature variation in a temperature field

Currently, expression fields are the only type of analytical fields available in ABAQUS/CAE. For more information, see the following sections:
