I am working on an Abaqus User element and have 4 degrees of freedom(3 displacement and 1 user-defined). I am working on a single element example, where I want to define the initial condition of the user-defined degree of freedom(taken as the 4th degree of freedom in this case) to be non-zero. I have provided the input in the input as:
*BOUNDARY,TYPE=Displacement
cube, 4 , 4, 7e-9
where cube is the node set which contains all the nodes of the element
When I run the UEL, I print all the degrees of the freedom at the beginning of the code as
write(*,*)'Initial displacement=',U
However, at the very first step, the entire variable U has zeros, where was I was expected every 4th element of U to be 7e-9. Could anyone let me know where I am going wrong ?
Thanks in advance
