I've been able to successfuly use the utility routine GETVRN to obtain the nodal coordinate information from nodes in the adaptive mesh domain. Is there a way that I can use this routine (or a different one) to bring in the coordinates for a node set not in the adaptive mesh domain in order to...
I ended up pulling the coordinates of that point, saving them, then on the next step, writing a vector defined by the difference between the current coordinates and previous coorinates. I do this all directly in the subroutine.
I'm trying to model this situation -
There is a defect on my master surface defined by a node. I want to increase the factor by which my mesh is adjusted at the location of this node on the adaptive mesh domain. Is there a way I can adjust all the nodes of the element that it is in contact...
I'm trying to print a nodal value for the displacement of a node from the previous step. Is there a variable that will do this? The variable "U" seems to be the displacement from the base node.
I am applying the Archard wear formula to prescribe the distance to adjust the nodes during the UMESHMOTION subroutine. The wear depth is the product of the contact pressure, sliding distance, and a wear coefficient. The contact pressure and sliding distance are pulled from the .dat file. I'm...
When specifying my node adjustments for UMESHMOTION, I wish to extract data from an existing file (lookup table) and apply that to the given nodes. Is there a command that will let me open a file and use the data in it?
I'm trying to write data to a new file while using the UFIELD subroutine.
I typed in the line
OPEN(UNIT=101,FILE='wear.dat',STATUS='new')
And am getting an error that the file has already been created in the "scratch "directory." How do if find out where this file has gone?
