Additional Topics

This section contains additional topics not covered by the other sections of this help file. Contained in this section are discussions on:

• Applying Mechanical Boundary Conditions in Free Space: Heat treatment modeling requires components to be fixed in free space; i.e., the component should be free to expand and contract, yet unable to freely translate or rotate in space. This section examines techniques to fix different geometric shapes in free space.

• Immersion Quench Process Modeling: This section discusses using a DANTE developed subroutine to perform a linear immersion quenching operation.

• Rotational Spray Quench Process: This section discusses using a DANTE developed subroutine to model a rotational spray quenching operation.

• Induction Hardening Process Modeling: Discusses how to use DANTE to model an induction hardening process.

• Rotational Induction Hardening Process: This section explains how to use DANTE to model a rotational induction hardening process.

• Press Quench Process Modeling: Brief introduction to press quench modeling.

• Applying Initial Stress in DANTE Model: Applying initial stresses in heat treatment or loading models.

• Using Map Solution Feature: Using Map Solution (Abaqus) to carry over previous modeling results in a new model using DANTE.
