Hi,
I've been using abaqus for over a year now but I am still not familiar with how to use subroutines and have a problem I need to address. Lets say I create a wire, with a certain length, and assign it a beam section. I then mesh the wire, with a certain number of beam elements. Now I want to give this wire a certain shape using some parametric equations. In order to do this, I need to apply a force or a displacement at each node of the wire mesh. Lets just say I want it to take the shape defined by F(x)=sin(x), where x is the distance along the wire. How do I create a sub-routine to make this happen? Is there already one that does this sort of thing. Thanks for the help!
