Subroutine simulation migration from HETVAL to UMATH
Hi!
I'm already simulating a shape memory alloy behavior with the aid of the HETVAL subroutine, but I'd like to use UMATHT instead, since the HETVAL can't simulate correctly heat absortion(cooling down).
I've tried to add the required values for UMATHT without achieving a correct phase fraction simulation, and some times even no compilation of the .for file.
Is there any other examples that uses UMATHT besides the Stefan problem?
Any other recommendation about HETVAL to UMATHT migration?
Thanks in advance!
About Franc3D/Osm 3.2 surface coordinate system issue
--------->>>>>>
The software version I installed and used is 3.2 version. I created a
3-D brick and meshed it in ANSYS 14. Then, I output the .cdb file and
convert it using OSM 3.2 software. After that, I started FRANC3D 3.2
software and follow the guidance in the "Thin Shell
Tutorial v2.6". It was said that I have to check the surface coordinate
system by changing direction of "GREEN BARS to the Same X direction".

convert ANSYS results to ABAQUS or LS-DYNA results.
Hi
I use FEMFAT to predict the fatigue life of welded structures. FEMFAT can take the effect of plastic strain on fatigue life but the stress results should imported from ABAQUS or LS-DYNA. Since I've simulated the welding process in ANSYS, I want to know that is there any way to convert ANSYS results(file.RST) to ABAQUS(file.ODB) or LS-DYNA results(file.d3plot).
