Hi!
I'm using USDFLD subroutine of abaqus. I'm calling ECD output by getvrm utility and using the values from ECD in an equation to update my Field. Is there a way I can use the value of ECD at one particular element and apply it as a fixed real number in the equation to calculate the field for all the elements? I want my field to be uniform for all the elements.

Thanks in advance.
