Dear all,

in order to access the last value of my state variable SDV at specific integration points and specific elements, I need to write the SDVs into .fil file in order to be able to read them inside my UMAT at each time increment.

I use the subroutine DBFILE to read the .fil file; the keyword to access the state variables is "5", but I don't know how I can go to the value which has been already written to the current integration point.

Could anyboby help?

Thanking in anticipation,

hadi

I intend to create a
composite model, containing a cylindrical fiber surrounded by a cube, by Abaqus CAE v 6.7-1. I create
two separet parts, one for the cube and the other one for the cylinder. Then, I
cut the cube by the fiber; the third part (lets say the cut part) is created
automatically. Now, I need to mesh the parts and merge them.
