hey all,
i am trying to update my own variable with the help of strain.I need to
update own variable in every step of the analysis.
these are my equations: I am considering 2D symmetry equations and i
want to calcuate my own variable XT=sqrt(2/3(E(1)^2+E(2)^2+E(3)^2))
epsilon11=E(1)=E(1)+delta(epsilon11)
epsilon22=E(2)=E(2)+delta(epsilon22)
epsilon12=E(3)=E(3)+delta(epsilon12)
I want to know whether abaqus directly takes E(1)as strain in 11
direction and E(2)as 22 and E(3) as 12direction.
I guess i can give the loop from 1 to NTENS as i want have the strain
increments.
one more last question :
I want to update my variable XT in every step of abaqus analysis.If i
intialize the E(1),E(2) and E(3)equal to zero before the loop i guess
it does not get the updated value in the next step of analysis.
So is there any command to control the step that it should take th
updated values of E(1)...... every time and get the updated value of
XT.

thanks to everybody in helping me in linking the abaqus with the
subroutine.

Thankyou
