Debugging subroutines (ABAQUS)
Debugging subroutines (ABAQUS)
(OP)
Hey all,
Does anybody know how to debug abaqus subroutines using breakpoints rather than relying on the .msg/.log file? I have a relatively long VUEL subroutine and when I try to test it I get a segmentation fault error which can basically mean anything.

A very similar instruction for subroutine debugging is provided in the book titled "Troubleshooting Finite-Element Modeling with Abaqus" by R.J. Boulbes.

Unless you haven't already used it, here is one trick that could come in handy in debugging your code with breakpoints etc. independent of Abaqus altogether. Such an approach has limitations but it allows enhanced control/flexibility/.. as well. So, to the trick: You could simply write a Fortran subroutine that provides all the arrays your VUEL subroutine expects. With this simple trick, you can run your code in any Fortran compiler.
I must admit: I have neither used Abaqus nor coded subroutines in a very long time so the trick may be useless.
