In Abaqus temperature can either be a field variable (stress analysis, mass diffusion, …) or a degree of freedom (heat transfer analysis, fully coupled temperature-displacement analysis, …). For any analysis that involves temperature, you can request the temperature either at nodes (variable NT) or in elements (variable TEMP). If element temperature output is requested at the nodes, the integration point values are extrapolated and, if requested, averaged. These extrapolated values are generally not as accurate as the nodal temperatures themselves. An exception to this is adiabatic analysis, in which the element temperatures change due to plastic heat generation but the nodal temperatures are not updated. In that case the current nodal temperatures are obtained only if element temperature output is requested at the nodes.
節點處，但可以外推到積分點處。
