Dear all,
Does anybody know which coordinate system the variable CoordMP is based on in VUMAT? Assembly global coordinate system or Part coordinate system? Or Material coordinate system?
I have validated if I rotate the part in Assembly, the Assembly global coordinate system is in use, and if I define a different material coordinate system in Property module, the output is still using the Assembly global coordinate system. Are there any exceptions?
Best regards,
Shuai
Hi,
You can check this by adding a command to your subroutine to write the variable CoordMP, then examine the log file.
for example:
write (*,*) 'CoordMp =', CoordMP
Hi Mohammad,
I have already done the check by printing out the results before. I have validated some of the cases as I mentioned in my question. Do you know whether there are any exceptions, please?
Thanks very much!
Shuai
Hi Shuai, did you manage to figure this out? I am outputting CoorMp as well for the C3D4 element. When I manually compute the integration point location (at the center of the tetrahedral) - they do not match the CoorMp locations... I am wondering if Abaqus is using some "non standard" integration point location or I am missing something...
