You can look into Max-Planck MPIE's website.

More specifically, usage details of DAMASK in combination with ABAQUS are described at https://damask.mpie.de/bin/view/Usage/Abaqus

Dear Karthigesu,

As suggested by others, have a look at:

https://damask.mpie.de/bin/view/Usage/Abaqus

Try first implementing a single crystal simulation,

then go for polycrystals.

The most important thing is to understand how to set the

user materials in abaqus cae for different grains

and how to implement the euler angles for each grain

in material.config file

Feel free to contact me by email if you find difficulties:

I have also polycrystal exaples input file to send you

Best Regards,

Nicolò

hi Nicolo,

Can you send the example input files with all the CP parameters as well? I am planning to learn the DAMASK software on my own using your sample file. i would appreciate if you can give some guidance on how to use the damask software.

thank you.

Hi I want to transform miller indices in hexagonal structure to Euler angles (phi1,phi,phi2) in DAMASK, what is the relationship between them?

Dear Karthigesu,

I have just sent you by email the example input file for polycrystals.

Best Regards,

Nicolò

Nicolò Grilli ,

i have got your email and other related files. Now i am focusing more on how to start the simulation rather than going in subroutines. Damask software itself has some cpTi-alpha example code which can be used as material configuration. Is that can be used for a beginner like me? i have emailed you personally ask about this thing.

i will use the subroutines in the near future for the Uni-axial tension type loading on a poly-crystalline material like Titanium. which area to be focused exactly on the subroutine doc that you shared? VUMAT for Kinematic Hardening ?

Thank you.

Karthi
