I found the procedure and all from the manuals but I cannot find the subroutine input file. Do I need to install some extra software to use subroutines in Abaqus?
In ABAQUS-Directory please find \samples\Job_Archive\..
There are several Inputs and fortran-subroutines relatred to user_creep.
For example, try creep_usr_creep.inp and creep_usr_creep.f. The documentation is given in 3.2.6 VERIFICATION OF CREEP INTEGRATION of Abaqus Benchmarks Manual.

After installing fortran, you need to link it to Abaqus. Then you can run subroutine by command or from user interface by adding the subroutine file in job->general tab.
You will have to justify your coding by simulating a known result problem else the subroutine might give garbage results and analyzing that for a big model will not be easy.
As for creep rupture, I have same question with a little difference.
When Norton's Power Law is creep law then how can I get creep rupture of HDPE with smooth rods simulation ? The job runs but aborts when reached highest strain and large deformations. There, I assume a "damage" but I don't consider is satisfactory.
