Implementation of Corotational Formulation

Hello,
I am a PhD student in Mechanical Engingeering.

I am currently studying the co-rotational formulation, following the theory on Crisfield's books. The next step in my project would be to apply the corotational formulation for the simulation of a beam, and my supervisor suggested me this could be done in ABAQUS through a User Defined Element Subroutine.

Is there anybody who has applied the corotational formulation in ABAQUS before? A similar application in MATLAB would be useful as well; in that sense I found great help in this previous discussion on iMechanica: http://imechanica.org/node/4880  .

Thanks in advance to anyone who would reply,

Dario
