UPF programming for 4-node user element
UPF programming for 4-node user element
(OP)
I want to creat a 4-node user element for 2D isotropic inhomogeneous material, the most important part is the stiffness matrix I need to offer. And later I want to extend it into 8-node element(like PLANE82, triangular option should also be available).
Any help or information will be greatly appreciated.
A million thanks in advance.
What I have now is a very old version of UPF Guide:

a)modify uel101.F and test with testcases.
b)modify the uec101.F and uel101.F to be Link1 element, so as to get some feeling.
2nd step:
try to write a similar element to my target element, for instance, a 4-node linear or quadraliteral element for 2D linear isotropic inhomogeneous material to the 8 node quadraliteral element and 6 node triangular element.
BTW, my material is 2D LINEAR ISOTROPIC INHOMOGENEOUS MATERIAL.
I mean I know many people have done such job and have rich experiences. I need your help really! Thanks a lot!
