mix Fortran and C++ code in Abaqus user subroutines

Submitted by carlygao on

Hi,

I need to make an Abaqus user subrouine mixing Fortran and C++ in Abaqus user subroutines. To call C++ functions from Fortran, I will use the appropriate Fortran intrinsic functions or ISO_C_BINDING module to interface with the C++ code. However, I have no clue about how to compile it. I usually work on the Fortran subrouines only. Now I have two languages. Is there anyone how to link both C++ and Fortran compiler to Abaqus and how to compile them?

Is there any a simple example, or instruction video? Thanks.

Study on Failure Process of Concrete Beams Based on A New Model of Truss Element

Submitted by Jiang Ke on

The new model of truss element is based on the same stress-strain curves of tension, compression, and shear with the hexahedron element under the equivalent external force. Comparing and analyzing a simply supported elastoplastic concrete beam with initial cracks by using the new element method and the finite element method, it can be found that the load-displacement curve, the load-crack opening displacement curve, the contour of the displacement under the various loads, and the distribution of the horizontal normal stress under the maximum load are all in good agreement.
