I'm using the subroutines HETVAL and USDFLD in Abaqus. In USDFLD, COORD is being an input. Is this the coordinates for the current integration point or the current node? And the same question for the TEMP(1) in HETVAL.

I'm not calling any other routines.

I have looked in the manual but I'm still not sure. Does anyone know? Thanks!
