Abaqus: How to display a new tensor define by myself in vumat?

Submitted by Wang Guofeng on
vumat SDV

Hi, all

I am writing one code of vumat. I want to know how to display the contour of a new tensor define by myself in vumat.

It is seems that we can use SDV to realize this in UMAT. But in vumat, how to display the results in the post processor of abaqus?

thanks

Hello Wang,

in ABAQUS/explicit you can display your  "user" tensor as Solution Dependent Variables (SDV) in like in ABAQUS/standard. You have to request them in the following way for shell elements:

**=*****************************************************************************
**=FIELD OUTPUT
**=*****************************************************************************
*Output, field
*Node Output
A, RF, U, V
*Element Output, directions=YES
1, 3, 5
LE, PE, PEEQ, S, SDV, STATUS
