Forge2008 to Abaqus (.unv to .inp) subroutine Sigini

Submitted by snatsch on

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a linking project between two software: Forge2008 and Abaqus.My goal is to transfert output datas ( nodes,elements, stress tensor) from one software  as input datas for the next one.

In order to realise this task I have to understand the output format .unv of Forge 2008  (Universal I-deas format) and convert this file to .inp ( Abaqus)

And use the subroutine Sigini in Abaqus to put initial conditions.

So to sum up  do you have informations about .unv file (description of elements)

and an example or a tutorial for how to use Sigini ( subroutine Abaqus)

 

Thank you

Best regards

Snatsch
