Subroutine for Calculating Heating or Cooling Time of Temperature

Did someone work on subroutine (ex PLOTV) to calculate the heating time (ex 500 to 800 degC) or cooling time (ex 800-500 degC)? Appreaciate if someone can share the steps.
 
Thank you.

  • I used PLOTV to compute something else, not this one. But the steps should be similar. You can call 'nodvar' or 'elmvar' to get the temperature of the nodes or elements, then use some global variable to save the start time ( ex. 500 degC), and the end time (ex 800 degC). Then you can calculate the heating time or cooling time, output it to a file or even save it to a user defined result.
