Solution-Dependent State Variables Defined in Subroutine FRIC Cannot be Displayed in ABAQUS Visualization Module

Hi,

 

I am now using ABAQUS subroutine FRIC to define some solution-dependent state variables, and I am currently able to check these values throung writing them into a TXT file in the subroutine. However, I cannot find these SDVs displayed in the ABAQUS visualization module although I have already specify them in the Field/History output manager.

 

I will be appreciate if anyone could give me some advice on this.

 

Thanks a lot,

On the Compatibility Equations of Nonlinear and Linear Elasticity in the Presence of Boundary Conditions

Submitted by arash_yavari on

We use Hodge-type orthogonal decompositions for studying the compatibility equations of the displacement gradient and the linear strain with prescribed boundary displacements. We show that the displacement gradient is compatible if and only if for any equilibrated virtual first-Piola Kirchhoff stress tensor field, the virtual work done by the displacement gradient is equal to the virtual work done by the prescribed boundary displacements. This condition is very similar to the classical compatibility equations for the linear strain.

Hello,

Discretising geometries with a brick (voxel) mesh of constant element size is very simple and quick.  However, sometimes there are locally small features which would benefit from a more refined discretisation... In my case, the geometry (a textile reinforcement) is complex and tet meshes get very large very quickly – and are slow to generate. Hence, bricks are a simple way forward.

Assigning crystal plasticity material constants for one crystal with more than one element (default of Dr Huangs model)

CPFEM UMAT Dr Huang
ABAQUS UMAT

Hi!

 

I am just a beginner in Abaqus UMAT and I have started working with Dr Huang's crystal plasticity UMAT in Abaqus.

When I am assigning one material constants for one element crystal it works but when I try to assign it to more than one element for one crystal (for example group of elements with same grain orientation) it give me error code 144.

Can anybody explain me the reason?

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Omid
