UFIELD

User subroutine to specify predefined field variables.

User subroutine UFIELD:

  • allows you to prescribe predefined field variables at the nodes of a model—the predefined field variables at a node can be updated individually, or a number of field variables at the node can be updated simultaneously;

  • is called whenever a user-subroutine-defined field appears;

  • ignores any field variable values specified directly;

  • can be used to modify field variable values read from a results file; and

  • can be used in conjunction with user subroutine USDFLD such that the field variables that are passed in from UFIELD and interpolated to the material points can be modified (such changes are local to material point values, and nodal field variable values remain unaffected).

The following topics are discussed:
