HELP FOR SYSTEM ERROR CODE 144 WHILE USING UMAT WITH ABAQUS

Submitted by unsrohith on

Hi ,

Can anyone please give the appropriate reason why this system error code 144 comes while using UMAT with abaqus and how to resolve it.

I've no idea what the error codes mean, but a colleague of mine was once faced with system error code 47 (I think) when using Huang's UMAT for crystal plasticity. Using a smaller maximum timestep solved the problem, as it seemed Abaqus was incorrectly estimating the timestep it needed and not reducing the timestep until the problem was already diverging. Worth a try maybe? For a given analysis, does it always crash in the same place?

This error just appeared in my analysis and the reason was a divison by zero caused by an un-initialized variable. Look for standard errors like mis-shaped arrays, wrong variable types because of implicit declaration, that kind of stuff. Normally, you will find a reasonable explanation for the esoteric error message.

Good luck,

Thomas
