User subroutines in ABAQUS

Abaqus User defined Routines

Submitted by anilkapahi on

I have been using an Abaqus dll created using a user-defined routine. Things work well on a serial case. The issue comes when I try to use it in parallel. I am trying to do this on windows 7. The error I get is

forrtl: severe (59): list-directed I/O syntax error, unit 12,

in Fortran I/O but I do not get this error when I run the simulation serially. Any ideas will be helpful.

Thanks

 

Troubles with ABAQUS subroutine compiler after update of Visual Studio 2015

Submitted by nshen on

I always use "Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0" and "Intel\Composer XE 2011 SP1" to apply all the user subroutines.

Recently, the university administrator updated the Visual Studio to 2105 (14.0) on my lab computer. 

When I tried to run an OLD simulation which WORKED perfectly before, it returned me the error message below:

deformation gradeint in VUMAT Abaqus Explicit subroutine

Submitted by a.sethi on

Hello everyone,

I'm modelling VUMAT for a composite. So, in my model I have inotropic and anisotropic behaviour. I have modelled isotropic behaviour but for anisotropic behaviour I need to use deformation gradient, which is causing errors. CAN ANYONE HELP with DEFORMATION GRADIENT. How to use that, do we need to rotate stress back in corotational form as abaqus manual says if yes then How?

How can we get Rotation matrix in VUMAT, if we can multiply it with stretch I think we have the result. May be an alternative.....

Please help, stuck badly :(

 

UEL visualization and strain energy for UEL

Submitted by mrashidzafar on

I am only seeing a "x" for a UEL at its first node. And I dont see any other node of UEL. Is it correct or some problem is there?

I also want to calculate the strain energy for whole model(including UEL). But in history output I am only seeing strain energy of Abaqus defined elements under "whole model strain energy". Can some one please help me in calculating strain energy of whole model including UELs 

Calling a File inside of the UEL

Submitted by ashkan khalili on

Hi everybody,

I'm writing a User Difined Element (UEL) for my research.

Would you please let me know if it's possible to call a file (txt, dat, etc) inside of the UEL or not?

Example:

    IF (LFLAGS(3)=1) THEN

        OPEN (UNIT = 10, FILE = "AAA.dat", STATUS = "OLD")

        READ (10, *), StiffnessTable

        AMATRX=StiffnessTable

    END IF

Thanks in advance,

material points will change while using subroutine in ABAQUS

Submitted by niuwenkai on

This subroutine using VUSDFLD is to
determine position of damage and provide evolution of damage surface, when some
elements failed. The “outer” damage status will transfer to “inner” damage
status.

Now the problem is that when I read the
coordinates of material points, using coordMp(k,1),coordMp(k,1),coordMp(k,1), it returns wrong locations. Then I
tried a very simple loop:

Do
k=1,nblock

        stateNew(k,7)=nblock

end Do

Non-uniform expansion coefficient alpha in UEXPAN (ABAQUS)

Submitted by youmotou on
Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica

I want to define the expansion coefficient alpha as a function of the depth, alpha(z)=f(z). How can I achieve this in UEXPAN? I cannot find a way to incorporate coordinates in UEXPAN.
