User subroutines in ABAQUS

Storing Abaqus sensor values

Hello

I have a sensor in VUAMP subroutine to measure the diameter of a ring. I want to compare the current value with the sensor value 10 seconds ago.

Is there a way to store the sensor values and retrieve them in abaqus?

 

 

Thanks

Umats with Abaqus

hi, someone know how run abaqus models using user subroutines, I can run one umat with one model, but i need to run two umats in an unique model in a simple step..Thanks for you help!!

ABAQUS VUHARD subroutine problem

Hello

I am working on the simulation of ring rolling. I have written the subroutine for the plasticity part in the subroutine VUHARD and have set the PLASTIC part in material definition to USER.
I dont have HARDENING PROPERTIES so i have set it BLANK. i have set the path of the subroutine in the job defintion part too. But abaqus crashes whenever i try to do DATA CHECK
It says ABAQUS KERNEL EXITED WITH AN ERROR.I dont know why this problem arises?. I am stuck.

UEL ABAQUS Subroutine

Hi,

I'm stucking with my subroutine. May ask anybody to have a look the the file. 

I run a simple model that and try to run it,but an error message was appeared as below;   ***ERROR: USER SUBROUTINE UEL MISSING

 

I don't know what is the problem. I did locate the input (.inp) and user (.f) in the same folder and run it (abaqus job=.... user= ...ff int )

 

Hope to get help from anybody...

some errors still exists for me during importing subroutine file in abaqus/cae

Thank you asim sir,

I am sorry to say that i am still getting the error message.I have attached the picture of  procedure and error  messages i gets.please correct my procedure.

how to import subroutine file in abaqus software ?

Sir,

 I am new to abaqus software. How can i import a subroutine file into abaqus software.while running a .inp file  added to job it asks for a sobroutine file.while editing the job file in general tab there is an option to include a subroutine file but while selecting a .f file to it. it asks for importing a .for or .obj file . what can i do now. I am studying about heat generations due to friction in contacts .the .inp file i imported into job is ufricxxy.inp and .f file is ufricxxy.f from help .please help me in solving these problems.

 

thanking you

Debugging standard user subroutines of ABAQUS

Hi,

I managed to find a way to debug UMAT step by step. I tested it on ABAQUS 6.9 using intel fortran 11.0 which is integrated with Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 running on Win 7/x64. The process is the same for other versions and other user subroutines (The same process should also work in linux, but with different debugger).

why does not my subroutine work?

Hello, Everyone!

     This is the first time that I come here to ask for help,so I wish that I can get the answer!

     I'm modeling with ABAQUS, My problem is how to use a subroutine which contains two external functions ?I need your help, Thank you!

Natural Frequency Extraction in conjunction with UMAT in ABAQUS

Hi,

We are using the user subroutine UMAT in ABAQUS for varying the material properties in a thin plate. For any static analysis this subroutine is working perfectly fine. However, while using UMAT during natural frequency extraction, ABAQUS is not completing the analysis and is giving a very vague following error message in the log file:

ABAQUS user material subroutine VUMAT and Eulerian mesh...

Hi there,

 Has anyone ever used a vumat subroutine with Eulerian elements? it seems that the stress update formulation is different from the way it is in Lagrangian approach! If you have any experience in this regard I'd highly appreciate if you share it with me.

 thanks

Varying material properties spatially in ABAQUS

Hi,

In an ABAQUS 2D-planar model, is it possible to vary the material properties spatially, say defining modulus (E) as a function of coordinates, E = f(x,y)? One way is to use *DISTRIBUTION feature, but that allows variation based on element-sets and does not allow varying the material properties as function of coordinates. If anyone has solved this or similar problem kindly suggest.

 

Thank you

FEM simulation on damage of brittle materials with Abaqus on mesoscale

Choose a channel featured in the header of iMechanica: 

Hi, Smile

I'm a fresher in abaqus. Now I'm trying to simulate the damage of brittle kind of materials, like concrete with abaqus on mesoscale. But there are some problems now...

Writing User Subroutines with ABAQUS

Dear All,

 I think that many students are looking for some tutorials about writing a UMAT in ABAQUS.

You can find a comprehensive tutorial for elastic problems.

This file contains: 

• Motivation

• Steps Required in Writing a UMAT or VUMAT

• UMAT Interface

Examples

Example 1: UMAT for Isotropic Isothermal Elasticity

Example 2: UMAT for Non-Isothermal Elasticity

A user-defined subroutine in ABAQUS for viscous soils.

Introduction:

The ABAQUS subroutine is for viscous soils, which
usually have the following characteristics.

Creep simulation - welded zones

I am trying to simulate creep damage in welded components in ABAQUS. I have four different sections in the same model assigned to four different materials. They are weld metal, base metal and Heat affected zones. I have to write a creep subroutine. For all the zones, creep equation is the same , but the parameters or constants change. i want to know how can I assign different parameters for different materials in the fortran source subroutine? what is the variable used for Material 1 , material 2 etc in standard ABAQUS?

Coupling Abaqus with an aeroedynamic BEM code to compute aeroelastic respons

For my graduation work (student at the Delft university of Technology, The Netherlands), I am trying to model the aeroelastic behavior of a wind turbine rotor. For this end I use an Abaqus model of a wind turbine blade (which is a composite structure with different fiber layers and corresponding orientation). The aerodynamic force is calculated by a BEM code (Blade Element Momentum theory), which is a simplified engineering aerodynamic code: fast but still quite good. Using CFD to calculate the loads is out of the question since it requires far too much time to calculate.

Abaqus/Explicit VUMAT tensor components ordering

Hello everyone,

 

I am coding a VUMAT for Abaqus/Explicit. I was wondering if the tensor components ordering was ALWAYS different from the one used in ABAQUS/Implicit, or if the special ordering was valid only for the C3D8R element.

how to simulate fibre direction?

Hi all

 I am modeling a complex muscle with fibre reinforced. The fibre direction is not constant in this muscle. It is changing with the integration point in the model. Is there anyone who got idea on how to simulate the variable fibre directions in Abaqus?  Can user subroutine ORIENT do this?

 Many thanks,

User subroutines in ABAQUS

Hello all,

I am new to this. I got a couple of good inputs from this site, so I thot I would join too. I am a PhD student in Clemson univeristy. I am using ABAQUS for my research. Let me get to the question quickly. There are two variables that you can define in a user subroutine called TOL and HTOL. What are these and how can I know more details about this. Any inputs will be appreciated.

 

Thanks
