Thread: implementing nonlocal formulation in ANSYS

    Exclamation implementing nonlocal formulation in ANSYS

    Hello everybody,
    I'd like to implement a nonlocal formulation in ANSYS using usermat. In order to do this for each integration point, I need to retrieve some FE results (cumulated plastic strain which is a user-variable in this case) from adjacent integration points at the end of each iteration. However, when I try to use functions like "get_ElmData" it does not provide results for requested elements and it puts the results from current integration point which is under calculation. Does anybody have experience about implementing nonlocal formulation in ANSYS using usermat?
    Best regards,
    Urmia

    I am afraid that I have not done much work in that area. Let us know if you figure out a way to do it!
