UWAVE

User subroutine to define wave kinematics for an Abaqus/Aqua analysis.

User subroutine UWAVE:

  • will be called at each load integration point for which an Abaqus/Aqua load is specified and a user-defined gravity wave is specified;

  • can be used to define the wave kinematics (fluid velocity and acceleration, dynamic pressure, vertical gradient of the dynamic pressure, and the instantaneous fluid surface elevation) as a function of time and space; and

  • for stochastic analysis, can be used to determine when during the analysis the current configuration should be retained as the intermediate configuration upon which the wave kinematics are based.
