ProductsAbaqus/Standard Structural user elementElements testedT3D2 Features testedUser subroutine to define the element mass matrix, element operator matrix, and right-hand side vector. Problem descriptionThe finite element model for each test case consists of two separate but identical meshes of a simple truss. One mesh consists of five T3D2 elements, and the other consists of five equivalent user-defined elements. Four test cases are performed as described below.
Results and discussionThe verification consists of comparing the results from the T3D2 models to the results obtained from the user element models, since they should be identical. Input files
Heat transfer user elementElements testedDC2D8 Features testedUser subroutine to define the element operator matrix and the right-hand side vector. Problem descriptionThe finite element model in each test case consists of two separate but identical meshes of a rectangular block. One mesh consists of two DC2D8 elements, and the other consists of two equivalent user-defined elements. The elements in each mesh have an irregular shape to ensure that the interpolation is consistent for the two element types. Two test cases are performed as described below.
Results and discussionThe verification consists of comparing the results from the DC2D8 models to the results obtained from the user element models, since they should be identical. Input files
Wave utility subroutinesFeatures testedUser subroutine to test the utility subroutines for fluid kinematic data in Abaqus/Aqua analyses. Problem description
Results and discussionThe verification consists of comparing the results returned by the utility subroutines with the results from the wave theory. The results from the wave theory are given in the input files as comment lines. Input files
