Understanding where data in subroutine is extracted from

Understanding where data in subroutine is extracted from

Understanding where data in subroutine is extracted from

(OP)
Hello all.

I am in the process of writing a UMESHMOTION subroutine to model the wear of materails. For this I am using:

      CALL GETVRMAVGATNODE(LOCNUM,JTYP,'CDISP',ARRAY,JRCD,
$     JELEMLIST,NELEMS,JMATYP,JGVBLOCK)

and

      CALL GETVRMAVGATNODE(LOCNUM,JTYP,'CSTRESS',ARRAY,JRCD,
$     JELEMLIST,NELEMS,JMATYP,JGVBLOCK)

Is this data being pulled from the .odb file? I am wondering if I can view this data manually and point it towards my subroutine as I seem to be having problems with the link in data between my subroutine and Abaqus.

Thanks.

RE: Understanding where data in subroutine is extracted from

Has anyone got any ideas on this. I have been stuck on this for ages now. Really need some help please, (see part of the code below).

      DIMENSION ARRAY(1000)

      CALL GETVRMAVGATNODE(LOCNUM,JTYP,'CSTRESS',ARRAY,JRCD,
     $     JELEMLIST,NELEMS,JMATYP,JGVBLOCK)     
C
      CPRESS = ARRAY(1)
      CSHEAR = SQRT(ARRAY(2)**2+ARRAY(3)**2)

All I am doing is calling the CPRESS results using the code above in my subroutine, but it is calling really strange values, like  "cpress is  4.243991582424610E-314".

Really need some help please. Thanks.
