1.1.38 UGENS: User subroutine to define the mechanical behavior of a shell section.

Product: Abaqus/Standard

References

• “Using a general shell section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.6.6 of the Abaqus Analysis Users Guide
• *SHELL GENERAL SECTION

Overview

User subroutine UGENS:

• is used to define the (nonlinear) mechanical behavior of a shell section directly in terms of generalized section quantities;
• requires you to define the section behavior of the shell directly in terms of membrane stresses and forces, curvature changes, and bending moments;
• will be called at all integration points in all shell elements with a general, arbitrary, elastic shell section and a user-subroutine-defined shell section stiffness; and
• can be used with all static or dynamic procedures other than the quasi-static procedure, since that procedure uses automatic time stepping based on the techniques used by Abaqus/Standard to integrate standard creep laws.

Storage of membrane and bending components

In the force and strain arrays and in the matrix DDNDDE, direct membrane terms are stored first, followed by the shear membrane term, and then the direct and shear bending terms. Only active components are stored, so the number of entries depends on the element type (see Table 1.1.381).

Table 1.1.381 Active section force/moment components.

Element typeForce and moment components
Three-dimensional shells (S4R, S8R, S8R5, etc.) and axisymmetric shells with asymmetric deformation (SAXA1N, SAXA2N) $N_{11}, N_{22}, N_{12}, M_{11}, M_{22}, M_{12}$
Axisymmetric shells (SAX1, SAX2, etc) $N_{11}, N_{22}, M_{11}, M_{22}$

There are NDI direct membrane and NSHR shear membrane components and NDI direct bending and NSHR shear bending components: a total of NSECV components. The order of the components is defined in “Using a general shell section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.6.6 of the Abaqus Analysis Users Guide.

Engineering measures of shear membrane strain ( \gamma _ { 1 2 } ) and twist \left( \mathrm { K } _ { 1 2 } \right) are used.

Increments for which only the section stiffness can be defined

Abaqus/Standard passes zero strain increments into user subroutine UGENS to start the first increment of all the steps and all increments of steps for which you have suppressed extrapolation in time from the previous incremental solution (“Defining an analysis,” Section 6.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis Users Guide). In this case you can define only the section stiffness (DDNDDE).

Stability

You should ensure that the integration scheme coded in this routine is stable—no direct provision is made to include a stability limit in the time stepping scheme based on the calculations in UGENS.

Convergence rate

DDNDDE must be defined accurately if rapid convergence of the overall Newton scheme is to be achieved. In most cases the accuracy of this definition is the most important factor governing the convergence rate. Unsymmetric equation solution is as much as four times as expensive as the corresponding symmetric system. Therefore, if the section stiffness matrix (DDNDDE) is only slightly unsymmetric, it may be computationally less expensive to use a symmetric approximation and accept a slightly slower rate of convergence.

Use with shells that have transverse shear and/or hourglass stiffness

If user subroutine UGENS is used to describe the section behavior of shells with transverse shear, you must define the transverse shear stiffness (see “Defining the transverse shear stiffness” in “Using a general shell section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.6.6 of the Abaqus Analysis Users Guide).

If user subroutine UGENS is used to describe the section behavior of shells with hourglass stiffness, you must define the hourglass stiffness parameter for hourglass control based on total stiffness (see “Specifying nondefault hourglass control parameters for reduced-integration shell elements” in “Using a general shell section to define the section behavior,” Section 29.6.6 of the Abaqus Analysis Users Guide). The hourglass stiffness parameter is not required for enhanced hourglass control, but you can define a scaling factor for the stiffness associated with the drill degree of freedom (rotation about the surface normal).

Use with continuum shell elements

User subroutine UGENS cannot be used to describe the section behavior of continuum shell elements.
