Hi everybody,
I would like to create a contour and compute the contour integral of the Eshelby Tensor (computed through a UVARM subroutine) along that path (see attached picture).
Here are my questions:
1 -- Is it possible to define a contour in Abaqus so that Abaqus will be able to identify the outward normal all along the deformation?
2 -- Is it possible to use some user output variables (the Eshelby tensor) and compute the integral of that quantity along the path (in order to compute the J-integral in a different way, as you can see on the attached file)?
Best regards,
Malik
