ABAQUS implementation external material properties

[neke]

Hello everyone,

I have following problem. I have generated inp file and in the next step i would like to cut material description in inp file and instead of mentioned material data i would like to put in inp file link to the external file where i'm going to paste data which was cuted before from origin inp file. Unfortunetally I have receifed an error. Of course i started calculation from command line (start-->run -->cmd).

Below i described step by step what i did:
1. Model was prepared in Abaqus. Material was defined as well. FEM simulation is run and finish in Abaqus without any problems.
2. I close Abasus and created empty txt file in the same direction where is origin inp file.
3. I open origin inp file and found material description
(* Material=stell.....). I cuted whole material description (without first row where is material name)
4. I paste cuted data to before created txt file.
5. In origin inp file instead of material description i write *insert, input=steel.inp
6. I change txt file name on steel.inp
7. I start command line and wrote
8. I go to the folder where are inp file
9. I write abaqus job=job_name.inp
10. Analysis is starting but after few second is broken (it is visible on task manager --> processes. CPU activity fall down.

Something is wrong but i can not recognise root cause. I will be gratefull for Your hepl.

Best regards,
David

What you did, seems correct. What are the files saying abaqus wrote ? *.pre, *msg,*dat ? There should be an error message.

I are right- in the file .dat there are some errors but those hints are not so clear for me. In the annex you can find inp and dat files. Could you please look at these documents and tell me what is going on?

You need to put the *INCLUDES at the top of the main input file, not near the bottom as you have.

At the beginning instead of *INCLUDES should be rather *INCLUDE

I cuted and pasted both "include" from the bottom to the top. Moreover i have added material description to the file steel
"*Material, name=DP-600" but still simulation doesn't work

Herewith new files

You've got duplicate *MATERIAL cards in the input file -remove these and see if it works.

That a legal copy of ABAQUS you have there..?
