Reading Abaqus input file at each increment

Submitted by hadi on

Dear friends,

 

To remesh my mesh outside the Abaqus CAE, I need to have Abaqus solver read my input file at each time increment till the end of the simulation. I use a UMAT in my calculation for damage simulation; this UMAT can write an input file whenever it's necessary to remesh the model. But, Abaqus just reads the input file once at the beginning of the calculation, i.e. when the job is submitted. How can I ask Abaqus to read my input file at the beginning of each time increment and take into account the new mesh instead of the previous one, which was used in the last increment?

 

Regards,
