Linking FRIC subroutine to .INP file

Submitted by JMichael on

Good day

I have numerous errors when assigning the FRIC subroutine to .INP file. Any suggestions would truly be appreciated.

What I did:

Within my subroutine I change the .VAL=PROPS(X) to a designated number—i.e. .VAL=0.00

ABAQUS doesn’t recognize these variables(PROPS(X)) sometime.

I created the LIB files (abaqus make library=XXX.for) needed when running the interactive job.

Then added the .lib to the abaqus environment (abaqus_v6), then, allocated the .for file to the working directory as well as the .inp file.

Running ABAQUS simulation using UEL written in C

Submitted by Hanif Hoseini on

Hello,

I have written a UEL in C, with several functions, for a geometrically nonlinear problem. It's said in ABAQUS documentation that UEL's can be written in C, but I haven't been able to find much information about how to run those UEL's. I'm using ABAQUS 6.13 on Win7. Any help on that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hanif

Thermite Weld Property!

Submitted by Yal on

Hey all, I am making an educational research on rail-welds, prediction of fatigue life of a thermite weld. and I used Abaqus and FRANC3D for my model but I couldn't get the modules of elasticity, the poissones ratio and the density of the weld from literatures and from codes as well, if there is any with this referrable literature and/or standard i will be so excited.

Thanks,
