Extracting strain tensor in a DLOAD user subroutine

[BenOB]

Hi All,

I am running an ABAQUS 6.7 simulation involving electrostatics where the pressure over a surface depends on the strain state of the material under the surface.

I am defining the pressure in a DLOAD user subroutine and I would like to use GETVRM or similar to find the strain state.

However it appears that GETVRM is not supported within the DLOAD user subroutine.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?

Cheers,

Ben
