CSLIP Confusion

CSLIP Confusion

CSLIP Confusion

(OP)
I am confused why my CLSIP1 values are showing as expected when I view them in my .ODB file in CAE, however when I print out my CSLIP values (in the x direction) from my UMESHMOTION subroutine I obtain a constant value (-1E36 throughout the step when I write CSLIP to the .msg file.

Here is the code I am using in the subroutine.

      CALL GETVRMAVGATNODE(LOCNUM,JTYP,'CDISP',ARRAY,JRCD,
     $     JELEMLIST,NELEMS,JMATYP,JGVBLOCK)
      CSLIP = ARRAY(1)
      write (7,*) 'cslip is',CSLIP

Would really appreciate your help on this. Thanks.

Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

RE: CSLIP Confusion

I think CDISP has 3 components (for 3D), 1 = COPEN , 2= CSLIP1, 3=CSLIP2.

(Array indexing starts from 1 in FORTRAN).

Thanks for your input xerf,

Can someone explain how you know what is ARRAY(1), ARRAY(2), etc for each output variable. I can not seem to find this explaination in the Abaqus manual?

Thanks
