Products Abaqus/Explicit Elements testedS4R Features testedUser subroutine to define the mechanical behavior of a shell section in terms of generalized section quantities. The subroutine returns the section forces and moments as well as the section stiffness matrix of the element. Problem descriptionTo verify user subroutine VUGENS, the data line input option is used to specify the shell section stiffness and thickness of the shell elements (passed into VUGENS by array PROPS).
Results and discussionThe verification compares results between models using a general shell section with and without user subroutine VUGENS. In each case, the results were identical. Input files |
