I am working in a subroutine UEL and, as usual.. I have some problem!

I have a finite element for flat shell that came from a

Hellinger Reissnerr variational principle. Then, I have pararmeters for both displacement and stress:

U = N . q

T = M . beta

It is possible to solve the global problem in terms of q parameters only by static condensation of beta parameters. Then, it is possible to cast this mixed format in a compatible standard format and put all in the UEL subroutine using

SVARS for collect the beta parameters element-wise.

It works very well, for displacement part. Now I need to get the stresses T from beta parameters that I have in the SVARS element-wise in order to plot them by using the abaqus CAE, as usual.

Can you suggest me some suitable way for do that??

I saw that whit UGENS subroutine one can calculate FORCE(NSECV) and plot them by using abaqus CAE, but I need to get SVARS from UEL in the UGENS for do that.

The subroutine is written in c++, by using a simple interface for fortran. Then, I cant use the COMMON of the Fortran... but in c++ there is a similar way.

Best Regards,

Giuseppe

Hi,

for this problem I cannot use UGENS for getting plot the Mx, My, Mxy, Vx, Vy, Nx, Ny an Nxy for my 4 noded element in UEL.

Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance

Hmm, I am afraid that I have not worked with UELs for a while.
I dont have any direct feedback at this moment.

Anyone else?

Hi,

thank you for the reply.

My problem it is not exactely in the UEL.

My UEL works very well, but I have some problem
for to get SDV in the UEL and use them for calculate
SF (Section force and moments).

Now, I am starting to use C++ Abaqus Interface (I want to avoid
Python for performance requirement). In this way, I will
copy the ODB results obtained with my UEL in a new ODB
with Abaqus Elements and Ill calculate SF by using SDV from
old ODB. I hope to get it to work.

Best Regards
-giuseppe

Hello,

Im working on UEL also. Im testing my subroutine with a simple problem of flexure of a beam. Now Ive got the result of the nodal displacements and I want to do a contour plot of the corresponding stresses.

I know that I need to store the stress values first into SDVs and then output the SDVs into a .dat or .fil file. Ive done that successfully. But what to do after that? I want to transfer the values of the SDVs inside the .dat or .fil file into the output database so that I could do the plotting. Right? How am I gonna achieve that?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best Regards,
Zhou Ye

Hi Zhou Ye,

I think that you can plot directly the SDVs
you can try to add the follows in your .inp:

*Output, field
*Element Output, directions=YES
SDV

after running the analysis you can
plot SDVs by using Abaqus CAE.

I hope this help. Let me know if it works.

Best regards,
-Giuseppe
