I wrote a subroutine VDLOAD for dynamic explicit analysis in ABAQUS. The load is spatially distributed as well as varying with time. The subroutine VDLOAD works fine. But the load has two horizontal and vertical components (component1 and component2).

Horizontal component of load = 1*value

Vertical component of load = 0.75*value

Value is defined in the VDLOAD subroutine.

I know that the magnitude data entered in the editor (Attached figure) are passed into the user subroutine in an Abaqus/Standard analysis but are ignored in an Abaqus/Explicit analysis (Abaqus/CAE User’s Guide(6.14) section 16.9.8).

How to model these two components of the load by VDLOAD?

I would be grateful if you guided me through this.
