In FEM and other similar simulation techniques, keeping consistent units is a tedious work and almost everyone made this kind of mistake one or two times. Therefore, here I propose a package for dealing with this problem once and for all.

The idea of the package is simple, you tell me what is the system of units you want. Then, tell me the correct number in any system of units. All is done! The package will try to print out the value in you specified system of units.

Here is some examples:

hello Dear friends

I am phd student in mechanical engineering. I want to compare field consistent total lagrangian 

and corotational formulation for geometrically nonlinear 2D beam analysis. I wrote

a code for total lagrangian approach and my results are exct but in corotational

I have some difficulties in coding. if someone has a sample corotational code please

contact with me.

I have VUMAT code for visco-plasticty material.

When I use this code for abaqus 6.10 input file it works fine.

If i create same problem(one element check) in abaqus 6.13 and run in cluster with abaqus 6.11 it is not working. 

Getting error like below.

***ERROR: Floating Point Exception detected in increment 2722.  Job exiting.

Hello all:

I have bee trying to run the benchmarks problems, but for some reason I'm unable to obtain the expected results. I'm trying the built the strength envelope that is presented in the manual. The envelope defines different maximum axial stress depending on the orientation of the discontinuities with respect of the loading direction.

Dear everyone

My project is about the adhesional friction between rubber and a rigid surface. In this case I have modeled a block of rubber which is sliding on a real rough rigid surface in ABAQUS.

My Masters thesis work is on fatigue crack growth analysis on microalloy steel using cohesive zone model for mode-I crack growth.I had seen papers
on cohesive zone model which is attached here,in that damage based cohesive model is implemented. I would like to know how can we implement
damage mechanisms in ABAQUS,means whether it is necessary to write UMAT​ or UEL for the same?
can any one give me some suggestions?
Looking forward to your reply.
thank you very much.
