# Variable to be provided to the utility routine

ID

ID of the array (an integer), chosen by the user at the time of creation. Using this ID, an array can be opened in any other user subroutine.

# Variable returned from the utility routine

INTEGER\*8 ( address )

Returns a pointer to the array created. This pointer can be associated with a native Fortran array or native C/C++ array. Each thread will receive a different pointer. Each thread, as it passes through this code, will create and hold its own array. For example, Array(1) in Thread 0 is a separate array from Array(1) in Thread 4. These arrays are nonoverlapping and nonintersecting in any way.

Example:   
```fortran
#include <SMAAspUserSubroutines.hdr>

integer a(100)
pointer(ptra, a)
double b(100)
pointer(ptrb, b)

! create a global array with ID=1, SIZE=100, and

a(1) = 11 ! use as a native Fortran array
a(2) = 22 ! use as a native Fortran array

! create a global array with ID=2, SIZE=100, and
! INITVAL=-1.0
ptrb = SMAFloatArrayCreate(2, 100, -1.0) 
```  
C++ interface:

```c
#include <SMAAspUserSubroutines.h>

// Create an integer array of with ID=1, size=100,
// and initial value=-1.0
int* a = SMAIntArrayCreate(1,100,-1.0);

// Create a float array of with ID=2, size=20,
// and initial value=-1.0
Real* b = SMAFloatArrayCreate(2,20,-1.0); 
```  
NOTE: Float Arrays can store both SINGLE PRECISION and DOUBLE PRECISION numbers. Internally, they allocate storage in 64-bit units (double/real\*8).   
NOTE: To resize an array, simply call Create() with the same ID, but give it a new SIZE parameter. If the size has increased, the old data will be copied over to the new array. No data is lost during resizing.

<!-- source-page: 665 -->

For example:

```fortran
! resize array with ID=1 to 300 integers
ptra = SMAIntArrayCreate(1,300,-1) 
```

# Variable to be provided to the utility routine

# Allocatable global arrays of variable precision

The usage of real arrays is exactly the same as that of integer and floating point arrays except for the handling of precision. The precision of real arrays varies, changing along with the precision of Abaqus/Explicit. In single precision the values of real arrays are 32-bits long, and in double precision their values are 64-bits. For this automatic switching to work in Fortran, the type of such an array should not be declared explicitly. Abaqus relies on the implicit naming to alternate between single precision and double precision. In C/C++ the type of the native array should be Real\*. The typedef declaration changes between float and double depending on the precision of Abaqus/Explicit. The precision does not change during a run; it is determined at the beginning of the analysis and remains the same until the end.

When you create real arrays, you give each array an identifier. Arrays can be created in one user subroutine and operated on in another simply by referencing this identifier. You need not capture the

<!-- source-page: 669 -->

pointer to the array and pass it between routines. The arrays persist in memory from the moment they are created until you delete them explicitly or until the analysis ends. The arrays do not disappear when any particular user subroutine terminates. They are accessible from all user subroutines and all threads. Each MPI process is separate in memory from other MPI processes and has its own arrays. There is no cross-referencing of these arrays across MPI processes.

These arrays can be resized dynamically as needed. A call to Create() on an existing array but with a different size resizes the array. If the new size is larger than the previous size, there is no loss of data and the previous contents are carried over.
