abaqus HETVAL element number

How to know the element number within an hetval subroutine

Submitted by Fausto Tucci on

Hi everybody

I'm a new user of abaqus and I'm trying to describe the heat generation in a changing phase thermoset polymer using abaqus user subroutine HETVAL. I need for my computations the current element number (in such a way that I can find the adjacent elements in the connectivity matrix).

Does anyone have any suggestion?

Thank you
