FEM

I guess I know how to descretize and further processing but how can I make or define my sample for example(tensile sample) in fortran. 

Dear colleagues,

I have one question concerning the TSHR (transverse shear stresses) output request in application of Thick Shell S8R elements in Abaqus/standard. 

the follow qarning occurs:  Output request tshr is not available when *transverse shear stiffness is specified on the *shell section definition or a material in the shell has been defined without *elastic

 Can anybody please help with an advioce or two, on how to solve this?

all the best

What is Z-set

Z-set is a computational code devoted to the analysis of material and
structure behavior, involving a finite element solver and a collection
of specific tools for material parameter calibration, preprocessing and
postprocessing computations. Z-set is the result of 30 years of close collaboration between the

Hello All:

I have written a UMAT code to predict the viscoelastic behaviour within a shape adaptive structure. I have followed similar steps used in Abaqus subroutine manual, I have applied this UMAT to a single quad element and it works as predicted. But when I apply it multiple elements model it breaks down. 

Is there any special command i need to put in UMAT subroutine to account multi element analysis? I will appreciate all related comments, 

Thanks
