What it does
Abaqus Coupled Analysis is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Complete workflow for coupled thermomechanical analysis. Use when user mentions thermal stress, thermal expansion, or temperature causing deformation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `UPSTREAM.md` and `metadata.json`).
The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- User mentions thermal stress
- Thermal expansion
- Temperature causing deformation
Example prompts
- “/abaqus-coupled-analysis”
Requirements
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, Bash(abaqus:*), Skill
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 194ef49. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
ReadWriteEditGlobGrepBash(abaqus:*)Skill
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Abaqus Coupled Analysis loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Abaqus Coupled Thermomechanical Analysis Workflow
Analyze problems where temperature and mechanical response interact. Use for thermal stress, expansion-induced deformation, and high-temperature structural components.
When to Use This Skill
Natural language triggers:
- "Thermal stress analysis"
- "Thermomechanical coupling"
- "Temperature causes stress/deformation"
- "Thermal expansion effects"
- "Heat causes deformation"
- "Thermal shock"
- "High temperature component"
- "Thermal gradient stress"
Route elsewhere:
- Heat transfer only (no stress) ->
/abaqus-thermal-analysis - Structural only (no thermal) ->
/abaqus-static-analysis
Prerequisites
Before starting coupled analysis:
- Working thermal OR structural analysis that converges
- Material must have BOTH thermal and mechanical properties
- Understand whether coupling is one-way or two-way
Workflow: Coupled Thermomechanical Analysis
Step 1: Determine Coupling Type
Ask if unclear: "Does mechanical deformation affect the temperature field?"
| Scenario | Coupling Type | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Heat causes stress, no feedback | One-way | Sequential coupling |
| Friction or plastic work generates heat | Two-way | Fully coupled |
| Large deformation changes heat path | Two-way | Fully coupled |
| Simple thermal expansion | One-way | Sequential is simpler |
Decision rule: If only temperature affects stress -> Sequential. If deformation affects temperature -> Fully coupled.
Step 2: Define Complete Material Properties
Material must include BOTH sets:
Mechanical: E (Young's modulus), nu (Poisson's ratio)
Thermal: k (conductivity), alpha (expansion coefficient), T_ref (reference temperature)
For transient: Also need cp (specific heat) and rho (density)
Typical steel values (SI-mm units):
- E = 210000 MPa, nu = 0.3
- k = 50 mW/(mm*K), alpha = 12e-6 /K
- cp = 5.0e11 mJ/(tonne*K), rho = 7.85e-9 tonne/mm^3
Step 3: Choose Analysis Type
Fully Coupled (simultaneous):
- Use
CoupledTempDisplacementStep - Response: STEADY_STATE or TRANSIENT
- Elements: C3D8T, C3D8RT, or C3D10MT (coupled elements)
Sequential (thermal first, then structural):
- Run thermal analysis with
HeatTransferStep - Import temperature results into structural model
- Run structural analysis with
StaticStep
Step 4: Set Initial Conditions
- Define initial temperature (should match T_ref for zero initial stress)
- Thermal strain = alpha * (T - T_ref)
Step 5: Apply Boundary Conditions
Thermal BCs: Temperature, heat flux, convection, or radiation
Mechanical BCs: Fixed supports (prevent rigid body motion)
Step 6: Mesh with Appropriate Elements
| Element | Description | Use |
|---|---|---|
| C3D8T | 8-node coupled brick | General coupled |
| C3D8RT | Reduced integration | Faster, watch hourglassing |
| C3D10MT | 10-node tet | Complex geometry |
For sequential: Use standard thermal elements (DC3D8) then structural elements (C3D8R).

Step 7: Request Coupled Output Variables
Key variables to request:
- S: Mechanical stress
- U: Displacement
- NT: Temperature (nodal)
- THE: Thermal strain
- E: Total strain
- EE: Elastic strain (mechanical only)
What to Ask User
If requirements unclear, ask:
- Is the coupling one-way (heat->stress) or two-way (mutual interaction)?
- Steady-state or transient thermal conditions?
- What is the reference temperature (zero thermal strain)?
- What temperatures will be applied?
- Are there any mechanical loads in addition to thermal effects?
Validation Checklist
After setup, verify:
- Expansion coefficient (alpha) defined with correct T_ref
- Initial temperature matches T_ref (for zero initial stress)
- Both mechanical and thermal BCs applied
- Using coupled elements (C3D*T) for fully coupled
- Thermal strain (THE) appears in output requests
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Large/unrealistic thermal strain | Wrong alpha units | alpha should be ~1e-5/K for metals |
| Zero thermal stress | Missing Expansion property | Add material.Expansion() |
| Non-convergence | Large temperature change | Reduce time increments or deltmx |
| No thermal expansion effect | Wrong element type | Use coupled elements (C3D8T not C3D8) |
| Cannot import ODB | Path or step name wrong | Verify ODB exists and step name matches |
