time integration

Hello,

I am trying to implement the time integration scheme proposed by Combescure et. al [1] to simulate a dynamic crack propagation problem in XFEM (2D edge crack under impact loading). But I have an interesting question to ask.

Postdoctoral Position on Mesoscale Modeling Materials at the University of Connecticut

Submitted by Dongare on Tue, 09/20/2016 - 19:52

The Computational Materials & Mechanics Group (CMMG) at the University of Connecticut has an immediate opening for a postdoctoral researcher in the area of modeling of impact behavior of materials at the mesoscales. The work is based on the newly developed quasi-coarse-grained dynamics method that extends the time and length scale capabilities of molecular dynamics simulations to the mesoscales. The postdoctoral researcher will work on the extension of this method to model shock/impact response of complex materials systems.

lapack in abaqus subrouine

Submitted by ri3trio on Tue, 09/20/2016 - 15:54

Hi all,

I'm an abaqus subroutine UEL user.

I recently got an existed UEL fortrain file from advisor professor, but had an following error message when I ran the code.

UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotrf referenced in function matinv_lapack

UEL.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol dpotri referenced in function matinv_lapack

The code has "call dpotrf('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" and "call dpotri('U',n,A_INV,n,i)" in function matinv_lapack, so I think I need to install lapack to resolve this problem.
