Linking FRIC subroutine to .INP file

Good day

I have numerous errors when assigning the FRIC subroutine to .INP file. Any suggestions would truly be appreciated.

What I did:

Within my subroutine I change the .VAL=PROPS(X) to a designated number—i.e. .VAL=0.00

ABAQUS doesn’t recognize these variables(PROPS(X)) sometime.

I created the LIB files (abaqus make library=XXX.for) needed when running the interactive job.

Then added the .lib to the abaqus environment (abaqus_v6), then, allocated the .for file to the working directory as well as the .inp file.

Defined the SDV’s in the interaction properties;

** INTERACTION PROPERTIES

**

*Surface Interaction, name=condyle2disc

1.,

*Friction, USER,DEPVAR=2,PROPERTIES=1

 0.16,

And allocated the Subroutine to the FRIC subroutine to the output field

** FIELD OUTPUT: F-Output-1

**

*Output, field

*Node Output

CF, RF, U

*Element Output, directions=YES

DAMAGEC, E, LE, PE, S, TSHR, PEEQ, FRIC

*Contact Output

CSTRESS,

**

Finally I run the job—abaqus job=XXX.inp user=YYY.for interactive (without the .inp and .for extensions)

Thank you
