10.4.3. Temperature Dependencies
Inputting temperature dependent gasket material properties follows the standard ANSYS procedure for
inputting temperature dependent data for other materials. The following format shows this procedure.

ation. When the temperature is out of the specified range, the closest temperature point is used.
The following is an example input listing defining a compressive pressure vs. closure behavior of a
gasket joint material with 5 temperature points and up to 10 data points for each temperature point,
and 3 nonlinear unloading curves with each curve having 5 temperatures and 5 data points.
