stress wave propagation problem in Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT

Submitted by Ahmad Falahatpisheh on

Hello All,



I have written a user material behavior using VUMAT for hyperelastic materials.



I am validating VUMAT on a flat square plate.



1. The plate is subjected to uniaxial loading.

2. It has 4 structured quad elements.

3. One side of the plate is fixed and the opposite side is subjected to shell edge load.

4. The element is of type S4R.



combining Abaqus/Standard and Abaqus/Explicit?

Submitted by Ahmad Falahatpisheh on

How can I run an analysis that starts in Abaqus/Standard and can be continued in Abaqus/Explicit? Does Abaqus automatically take care of data exchange between them or it should be manual. In other words, can I define step1 in a model run by Abaqus/Standard then immediately running step2 under Abaqus/Explicit?



Thanks,

How is this possible in ABAQUS?

Submitted by Ahmad Falahatpisheh on

I am trying to run UHYPER in ABAQUS 6.9EF1. I have the following questions:



1) How can I get the nodes
ID associated
with element# NOEL in UHYPER subroutine?



2) How can I get the
coordinates of the displaced nodes associated with element# NOEL in UHYPER
subroutine in the middle of the simulation? I tried to use GETVRN but it seems it does not work in
UHYPER.
