Session on "Data driven materials science" at the DPG Spring Meeting (Dresden, Germany)
Dear colleagues,
we would like to make you aware of the topical session
"Data driven materials science"
which is part of the MM program during the DPG Spring Meeting 2020. The latter takes place March 15-20, 2020, in Dresden.
If you are performing experiments or simulations in this emerging field, you are most welcome to contribute your abstract. You can find the session at the bottom of the list "Themenbereiche" on the abstract submission webpage

interfacing matlab with abaqus script using a user subroutine
Dear all,
the question is in the title.
I found solutions on the web to make matlab execute an inp file making use of a user subroutine: system(['abaqus job=' Abaqusname ' user=' fortranname ' -inter']). It works well if, prior to the command, a dll file of the fortran file is created and a file 'abaqus_v6.env' is set.
However, if I want to do the same by running, from matlab, the python script which makes use of the same user subroutine, there are errors.
command in matlab: system(['abaqus cae noGUI=script.py']);
