LREBAR

Rebar flag. If LREBAR=1, the current integration point is associated with element rebar. Otherwise, LREBAR=0.

NAMES(1)

Name of the rebar to which the current integration point belongs, which is the name given in the rebar or rebar layer definition (“Defining reinforcement,” Section 2.2.3 of the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide, or “Defining rebar as an element property,” Section 2.2.4 of the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide). If no name was given in the rebar or rebar layer definition, this variable will be blank. This variable is relevant only when LREBAR=1.

NAMES(2)

Element type name (see Section EI.1, “Abaqus/Standard Element Index,” of the Abaqus Analysis User’s Guide).

Overview

User subroutine UAMP:

• allows you to define the current value of an amplitude definition as a function of time;
• can be used to model control engineering aspects of your system when sensors are used (sensor values are from the beginning of the increment);
• can use a predefined number of state variables in their definition; and
• can optionally compute the derivatives and integrals of the amplitude function.

Explicit solution dependence

The solution dependence introduced in this user subroutine is explicit: all data passed in the subroutine for information or to be updated are values at the beginning of that increment.

Variable to be defined

AmpValueNew

Current value of the amplitude.

Variables that can be updated

lFlagsDefine

Integer flag array to determine whether the computation of additional quantities is necessary or to set step continuation requirements.

1FlagsDefine(iComputeDeriv)	If set to 1, you must provide the computation of the amplitude derivative. The default is 0, which means that Abaqus computes the derivative automatically.
1FlagsDefine(iComputeSecDeriv)	If set to 1, you must provide the computation of the amplitude second derivative. The default is 0, which means that Abaqus computes the second derivative automatically.
1FlagsDefine(iComputeInteg)	If set to 1, you must provide the computation of the amplitude incremental integral. The default is 0, which means that Abaqus computes the incremental integral automatically.
1FlagsDefine(iComputeDoubleInteg)	If set to 1, you must provide the computation of the amplitude incremental double integral. The default is 0, which means that Abaqus computes the incremental integral automatically.
1FlagsDefine(iStopAnalysis)	If set to 1, the analysis will be stopped and an error message will be issued. The default is 0, which means that Abaqus will not stop the analysis.
1FlagsDefine(iConcludeStep)	If set to 1, Abaqus will conclude the step execution and advance to the next step (if a next step exists). The default is 0.

svars

An array containing the values of the solution-dependent state variables associated with this amplitude definition. The number of such variables is nsvars (see above). You define the meaning of these variables.

This array is passed into UAMP containing the values of these variables at the start of the current increment. In most cases they should be updated to be the values at the end of the increment.

AmpDerivative

Current value of the amplitude derivative.

AmpSecDerivative

Current value of the amplitude second derivative.

AmpIncIntegral

Current value of the amplitude incremental integral.

AmpDoubleIntegral

Current value of the amplitude incremental double integral.

Variables passed in for information

ampName

User-specified amplitude name, left justified.

time(iStepTime)

Current value of step time or frequency.

time(iTotalTime)

Current value of total time.

ampValueOld

Old value of the amplitude from the previous increment.

dt

Time increment.

props

User-specified array of material constants associated with this amplitude definition.

nProps

User-defined number of material constants associated with this amplitude definition.

nSvars

User-defined number of solution-dependent state variables associated with this amplitude definition.

lFlagsInfo

Integer flag array with information regrading the current call to UAMP.

lFlagsInfo(iInitialization)

This flag is equal to 1 if UAMP is called from the initialization phase of the first analysis step and is set to 0 otherwise.

lFlagsInfo(iRegularInc)

This flag is equal to 1 if UAMP is called from a regular increment and is set to 0 if called from the initialization phase of the first analysis step.

lFlagsInfo(iCuts)

Number of cutbacks in this increment.

lFlagsInfo(ikStep)

Step number.

nSensor

Total number of sensors in the model.

sensorValues

Array with sensor values at the end of the previous increment. Each sensor value corresponds to a history output variable associated with the output database request defining the sensor.

sensorNames

Array with user-defined sensor names in the entire model, left justified. Each sensor name corresponds to a sensor value provided with the output database request. All names will be converted to uppercase characters if lowercase or mixed-case characters were used in their definition.

jSensorLookUpTable

Variable that must be passed into the utility functions IGETSENSORID and GETSENSORVALUE.
