At a glance

Complete workflow for heat transfer analysis - steady-state and transient thermal.

  • Works in 7 steps: Understand User's Goal → Choose Analysis Type → Define Thermal Material Properties → …
  • User asks about temperature distribution
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use This Skill, Prerequisites, Workflow: Thermal Analysis and Validation Checklist, plus 3 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Abaqus Thermal Analysis is an agent skill from Cai-aa/CAE-Agent-Hub. Complete workflow for heat transfer analysis - steady-state and transient thermal. Use when user asks about temperature distribution, conduction, convection, or heat flow.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 asks about temperature distribution

Example prompts

  • “/abaqus-thermal-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.

  1. Understand User's Goal
  2. Choose Analysis Type
  3. Define Thermal Material Properties
  4. Apply Thermal Boundary Conditions
  5. Create Heat Transfer Step
  6. Mesh with Heat Transfer Elements
  7. Run Analysis and Extract Results

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:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Bash(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 Thermal Analysis loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 476 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 Thermal Analysis Workflow

Heat transfer analysis for steady-state or transient temperature distribution. Use when user needs temperature field without mechanical stress.

When to Use This Skill

Route here when user mentions:

  • "Heat transfer analysis", "temperature distribution"
  • "How hot will it get?", "thermal analysis"
  • "Conduction", "convection", "radiation"
  • "Heat sink design", "cooling analysis"
  • "Steady-state temperature", "transient heating/cooling"

Route elsewhere:

  • Thermal stress (temperature causing deformation) → /abaqus-coupled-analysis
  • Just stress analysis → /abaqus-static-analysis
  • Temperature as initial condition only → /abaqus-field

Prerequisites

Before thermal analysis:

  1. Geometry defined
  2. Thermal conductivity (k) - required for all thermal analysis
  3. For transient: also need density (ρ) and specific heat (cp)

Workflow: Thermal Analysis

Step 1: Understand User's Goal

Ask if unclear:

  • Steady-state or transient? Final equilibrium vs temperature over time?
  • Boundary temperatures? Fixed temperature surfaces?
  • Convection? Film coefficient and ambient temperature?
  • Heat sources? Applied heat flux or internal heat generation?
Step 2: Choose Analysis Type
User WantsAnalysis Type
Final equilibrium temperatureSTEADY_STATE
Temperature vs time historyTRANSIENT
Cool-down or heat-up timeTRANSIENT
Just the end resultSTEADY_STATE

Decision rule: Use steady-state unless user needs temperature history or time-dependent behavior.

Step 3: Define Thermal Material Properties
PropertyRequired ForUnits (SI-mm)
Conductivity (k)All thermalmW/(mm·K)
Specific heat (cp)TransientmJ/(tonne·K)
Density (ρ)Transienttonne/mm³

Common materials (SI-mm units):

Materialkcpρ
Steel505.0e117.85e-9
Aluminum1679.0e112.70e-9
Copper3853.85e118.96e-9
Step 4: Apply Thermal Boundary Conditions
BC TypeUse ForRequired Inputs
TemperatureBCFixed temperature surfaceTemperature value
FilmConditionConvection to ambientFilm coeff, sink temp
SurfaceHeatFluxHeat inputFlux magnitude (mW/mm²)
RadiationToAmbientRadiation coolingEmissivity, ambient temp
BodyHeatFluxInternal heat generationVolumetric heat rate

Minimum requirement: At least one temperature BC or heat flux boundary.

Step 5: Create Heat Transfer Step
ParameterSteady-StateTransient
responseSTEADY_STATETRANSIENT
timePeriod1.0 (arbitrary)Actual duration (s)
initialInc-Start increment
maxInc-Largest allowed increment
deltmx-Max temp change per increment
Step 6: Mesh with Heat Transfer Elements
ElementUse
DC3D8Standard 8-node hex (recommended)
DC3D44-node tet (for complex geometry)
DC3D2020-node hex (high accuracy)

Note: Heat transfer elements (DC*) are different from structural elements (C3D*).

Step 7: Run Analysis and Extract Results

Request these field outputs:

  • NT - Nodal temperature
  • HFL - Heat flux vector
  • RFL - Reaction heat flux
  • HFLM - Heat flux magnitude

Validation Checklist

After analysis, verify:

  • Temperature range is physically reasonable
  • Heat balance: flux in ≈ flux out (steady-state)
  • No unexpected hot/cold spots
  • Transient: temperature stabilizes by end of analysis

Troubleshooting

ProblemLikely CauseSolution
Temperature oscillationLarge increments in transientReduce maxInc or deltmx
Non-physical temperatureUnit mismatchVerify k, cp, ρ units
No heat flowMissing BC or bad regionCheck boundary conditions
Negative temperature (Kelvin)Bad setupReview initial conditions
  • /abaqus-coupled-analysis - Thermal + structural (thermomechanical)
  • /abaqus-material - Thermal material properties
  • /abaqus-field - Initial temperature fields
