last increment

Hi Friends,

I need to write UMESHMOTION SUBROUTINE in ABAQUS, I will be grateful if someone can provide an example for me.

Best Regards,
Urmia

For those who do not know, UMESHMOTION is an Abaqus/Standard subroutine for specifying mesh motion constraints during adaptive meshing.

Unfortunately I have never written one of those subroutines, and cannot give an example.
Can you explain more about why you are interested in writing one of those subroutines?

Dear Jorgen,

I am trying to simulate bone remodeling process using UMESHMOTION.

Hi Urmia,
have you got your questions sorted? as I have a similar problem.

[rinki]

Abaqus has example problems such as "tire wear analysis" and "sand blasted erosion", which uses UMESHMOTION. But would be great if someone could please post a simple UMESHMOTION code.



Thanks

As I'm new to fortran, I would like to know how much fortran knowledge is requried to write such a code?

[rinki]

fortran that is used in abaqus is very basic. Its simpler than many programming languages and as you would be using microsoft visual studio, you will have a program editor that would make life simpler.
But according to me knowing the keywords of abaqus and other defined subroutines like GETVRN, etc is more important. Understanding their usage in your case is more crucial as you need to use those codes. I would suggest for fortran refer to any fortran 77 pdf manual which are freely available online.

Thanks for your advice, Rinki.
