Abaqus solves the transient heat transfer problem using a finite element method. The spatial domain is discretized into elements, and the time domain is discretized into time increments.

The governing equation for transient heat conduction (without mass transport) is the transient diffusion equation:

The term $\rho c_p \frac\partial T\partial t$ represents the of the material—the resistance to change in temperature. In Abaqus, accurately capturing this term is the core objective of a transient simulation.
