Abaqus UMAT Stress

Coupling material to use Abaqus UMAT models in MOOSE

Description

AbaqusUMATStress provides an interface for using _Abaqus UMAT_ functions as constitutive models in MOOSE.

UMAT User subroutine interface

UMAT functions are commonly coded in Fortran, are located in the $(APPLICATION_DIR)/plugins and $(APPLICATION_DIR)/test/plugins directories, and are automatically compiled by the MOOSE build system.

A UMAT file my_umat.f can be loaded by the AbaqusUMATStress by providing the the full path and filename without an extension via the "plugin" parameter in the MOOSE input file.

A valid UMAT subroutine has the following call signature


SUBROUTINE UMAT(STRESS,STATEV,DDSDDE,SSE,SPD,SCD,
     1 RPL,DDSDDT,DRPLDE,DRPLDT,
     2 STRAN,DSTRAN,TIME,DTIME,TEMP,DTEMP,PREDEF,DPRED,CMNAME,
     3 NDI,NSHR,NTENS,NSTATV,PROPS,NPROPS,COORDS,DROT,PNEWDT,
     4 CELENTCELENT,DFGRD0,DFGRD1,NOEL,NPT,LAYER,KSPT,KSTEP,KINC)
C
      CHARACTER*80 CMNAME
      DIMENSION STRESS(NTENS),STATEV(NSTATV),
     1 DDSDDE(NTENS,NTENS),DDSDDT(NTENS),DRPLDE(NTENS),
     2 STRAN(NTENS),DSTRAN(NTENS),TIME(2),PREDEF(1),DPRED(1),
     3 PROPS(NPROPS),COORDS(3),DROT(3,3),DFGRD0(3,3),DFGRD1(3,3)


      user coding to define DDSDDE, STRESS, STATEV, SSE, SPD, SCD
      and, if necessary, RPL, DDSDDT, DRPLDE, DRPLDT, PNEWDT


      RETURN
      END

A description of the input and output parameters of the UMAT user subroutines can be found in the Abaqus user manual.

commentnote

Temperature coupling and PREDEF support are not yet implemented.

Input Parameters

  • constant_propertiesConstant mechanical and thermal material properties (PROPS)

    C++ Type:std::vector<double>

    Options:

    Description:Constant mechanical and thermal material properties (PROPS)

  • num_state_varsThe number of state variables this UMAT is going to use

    C++ Type:unsigned int

    Options:

    Description:The number of state variables this UMAT is going to use

  • pluginThe path to the compiled dynamic library for the plugin you want to use

    C++ Type:FileName

    Options:

    Description:The path to the compiled dynamic library for the plugin you want to use

Required Parameters

  • base_nameOptional parameter that allows the user to define multiple mechanics material systems on the same block, i.e. for multiple phases

    C++ Type:std::string

    Options:

    Description:Optional parameter that allows the user to define multiple mechanics material systems on the same block, i.e. for multiple phases

  • blockThe list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

    C++ Type:std::vector<SubdomainName>

    Options:

    Description:The list of blocks (ids or names) that this object will be applied

  • boundaryThe list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this boundary condition applies

    C++ Type:std::vector<BoundaryName>

    Options:

    Description:The list of boundaries (ids or names) from the mesh where this boundary condition applies

  • computeTrueWhen false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the MaterialBase via MaterialBasePropertyInterface::getMaterialBase(). Non-computed MaterialBases are not sorted for dependencies.

    Default:True

    C++ Type:bool

    Options:

    Description:When false, MOOSE will not call compute methods on this material. The user must call computeProperties() after retrieving the MaterialBase via MaterialBasePropertyInterface::getMaterialBase(). Non-computed MaterialBases are not sorted for dependencies.

  • constant_onNONEWhen ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped

    Default:NONE

    C++ Type:MooseEnum

    Options:NONE, ELEMENT, SUBDOMAIN

    Description:When ELEMENT, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps.When SUBDOMAIN, MOOSE will only call computeQpProperties() for the 0th quadrature point, and then copy that value to the other qps. Evaluations on element qps will be skipped

  • declare_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any declared properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Options:

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any declared properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

  • prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.

    C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName

    Options:

    Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
