Hello,
I'm trying to do some nonlinear benchmark tests with the SC8R element but I'm getting some funny solutions that don't seem to match up with how the SC8R should perform in cases of limit point buckling. I'm just wondering if anyone has lots of experience with the SC8R and can tell me if...
That makes sense if I already had access to the external load from another subroutine. However, it is within the abaqus code/software that the load is incremented. Any idea how to access it initially from Abaqus?
I'm wondering if it is possible to access the value of an external imposed load from a UEL fortran file during an increment of the Riks type loading. I can see that it is possible to access the current magnitude of distributed load and the current increment of the distributed load active on an...
Hello,
I am wondering if anyone has had any experience trying to implement the Riks modified method into a UEL file. From the abaqus documentation I know that I need to modify the second column of the RHS variable. However I can't tell if it is the change in external forces at each node or...
