HETVAL

HETVAL

(OP)
dear all,

I've been using ANSYS for years but unfortunately because of limitations of it and due to the necessity I had switched to Abaqus.

I'm trying to learn ABAQUS, but to be honest I couldn't find enough tutorials about it. I don't find the examples within the documentation clear and explanatory enough. I need to determine the heat generation in my model as a delta function and what I've found so far addressed the usage of HETVAL in order to determine this function.

in users manual,HETVAL is given as

SUBROUTINE HETVAL(CMNAME,TEMP,TIME,DTIME,STATEV,FLUX,1 PREDEF,DPRED)
C
INCLUDE 'ABA_PARAM.INC'
C
CHARACTER*80 CMNAME
C
DIMENSION TEMP(2),STATEV(*),PREDEF(*),TIME(2),FLUX(2),1 DPRED(*)

user coding to define FLUX and update STATEV

RETURN
END

How can I include the function inside the mentioned part, what should be the rules that I have to follow?

I'll be thankful if anyone can share any links or sources which may help to understand 'how to use or include the HETVAL subroutines to the model or code'.


Any help will be greatly appreciated
