Thermal behavior not available in CalculiX can be coded by the user in subroutine ``umatht.f''. This also applies to any behavior of the thermally equivalent models such as shallow water theory etc. For instance, the thickness of the oil film in lubrication is part of the equivalent conductivity coefficients. A mechanical part can be coupled with the oil region by incorporating the effect of the motion of the mechanical part on the oil film thickness in a thermal material user-subroutine. The header and input/output variables of the umatht routine are as follows:
