Introduction To Subroutine Programming in Abaqus

The Subroutine Programming in Abaqus online class is designed for engineers, researchers, and advanced users who want to go beyond the default capabilities of Abaqus. While Abaqus provides a powerful suite of built-in tools for simulation and analysis, many specialized problems require user-defined customization. This course focuses on extending Abaqus functionalities through Fortran-based user subroutines, enabling participants to implement customized material models, load definitions, boundary conditions, and field variables.

Throughout the class, participants will learn how to link a Fortran compiler with Abaqus, understand key Fortran programming concepts, and effectively apply a variety of subroutines such as UMAT, UHARD, USDFLD, and DLOAD. Step-by-step guidance will be provided on how to configure subroutines in both Abaqus/CAE and input files, ensuring a practical understanding of the entire process.

By the end of this 20-hour online course, learners will have the skills to develop, compile, and integrate their own subroutines into Abaqus allowing them to create advanced, customized simulations tailored to their specific engineering needs.
