getting material property in ABAQUS
Hi, everyone,
Now I have a problem with getting the material property at each increment from ABAQUS. I have written a USDFLD subroutine to change the material properties at each increment. but I can't monitor the variation. do you have any idea how it is possible?
Thanks

Cohesive Zone Models are elasticity
I have always, and I believe correctly, considered cohesize/bridging models linear elasticity. This is because whether we apply them to holes or cracks, we are solving the equations of ELASTICITY, with nonlinear boundary conditions along the part(s) of the crack along which a traction-separation law is applied. So the material model is totally elastic. All we did was to augment the elasticity theory with an ad hoc physical condition (inspired by experiments such as Dugdale).
UMAT to VUMAT
Hello ,
I am a relatively new user to ABAQUS , and i am trying to figure out a way ( if there exists ) to convert a model defined in ABAQUS / Standard to Explicit for conducting impact testing.
Now i have figured out most of the model apart from the material defination. The previous model has a User defined material , and i need to convert it to a VUMAT.
Bridge
I am new for using abaqus , can anybody tell me how to apply the moving load on the bridge by using abaqus

How to get the integration reaction force of the indenter in Abaqus/standard
Hi, everyone,
Now I have a problem with indentation simulation. With Abaqus/standard, I set the indenter as deformable solid, and control the indentation depth of the indenter to monitor the reaction force of the indenter. But it seems the integration operator only can be used under abaqus/explicit, how can I get the integration reaction force of the indenter under Abaqus/standard.
Thank you, any help will be appreciated.
