magnitude

hi group

does any body know wha is the meaning of MAGNITUDE used in boundry condition. Say for temperaure case does it means temperature value or anything else

pls help im really confused as there is no detail in manual

thanks

If you use only the *BOUNDARY definition, then the magnitude you specify
is the actual displacement/temperature/etc.  However, if *BOUNDARY
references a *AMPLITUDE definition, then the value enforced will be
B*A(t), where B is the magnitude defined on the *BOUNDARY option, and
A(t) is the *AMPLITUDE definition.  Thus, when using a *AMPLITUDE
definition, you can choose to either define A(t) using the actual
magnitude of the load and simply using a unit magnitude on *BOUNDARY, or
you can define A(t) as a relative scale factor, and define the reference
value using *BOUNDARY.

Short answer:  Temperature.

Dave

Hi
I am not quite sure, but as I found from its Documentation and now I am using it means, the first value of temperature and if you wants to apply a heating or cooling process you must use Amplitude and give the other information as a table or some other method.
If I am wrong please correct me.
cheers

Hello all,
I'm using Abaqus 6.7.1 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 and Intel Fortran 9.1 to run the UMAT subroutines.
My OS is Windows Vista 64-bit.
To get the enviroment variables properly set when using the CAE, I run the IA32 directory ifortvars.bat
Now, I see that I can only use 3Gb memory to run the analysis. How can I use more? Is my Abaqus version (6.7.1)  32 bit?
I tried to use other ifortvars.bat, but I got linking problems.
Would Abaqus 6.9.1 solve my problem? I'm seriously considering buying it.
Using this topic for two subjects - What would be the advantages os Abaqus 6.9.1?
Thanks in advance.

Hi.
first of all, both 6.7.1 and 6.9.1 should work. There are differences on
several simulation scenarios, but should be no difference on support for
windows vista os.

To run UMAT, there are several steps you've to finish:

First, you've to make sure that your computer hardware is supported by
Abaqus. Please consult the web, or local office of Abaqus or your hardware.

Second, you've to make sure that Visual Studio and Intel Frotran are
correctly installed. Configurations should be different for 64 bit OS than
32 bit ones. Please consult the web, or Microsoft and Intel to make sure.

Last, you've to make sure your OS environment variables are well set. Make
sure that your've using corrcect version of IFORT.EXE, LINK.EXE, and related
LIBs.

I guess you problems may root in the Abaqus version. You should use win86_64
install files. Please chech your product CDs. Environment variables should
also be checked to make sure that they're 64 bit versions.

Hope it helps.

  Best regards,

Hello all...
Allan Yuan, thanks for your answer.
Actually, I'm already using the UMAT. The only problem is that I'm unhappy that Abaqus is using only 3Gb (the 32-bit limit), while my notebook has 6Gb and operates on 64-bit.
Abaqus had shown different error messages. Once it said that I should be using a 64-bit hardware. There's no need to say I'm using it.
On another trial, he said that 3Gb is the limit for 32-bit software.
When try to use more than 3072mb in the job, it just ends with error and no message.
A hint, a clue to my problem should be the file I run to use the sub-routines - the ifortvars.bat from IA32 directory, although, there's no problem with my compiler.
If someone could tell me how to use more memory, I'd really appreciate.
 
And, again, how about Abaqus 6.9.1? What are the advantages?
Best wishes...

hi Daniel,

It cannot be right to use IA32 directory on 64 bit OS, 'cause the name
'IA32' indicates that it's for 32 bit platforms.

You should be using AMD64 directory under Visual Studio, and EM64T
directory under Intel Fortran. If you're not, instead IA32 happens to work,
it can be concluded that there is something wrong, either with your
software, or with your installation, or with your hardware, or with
something else.
so please check your Abaqus version, then Visual Studio and Intel Fortran
installation and environment variables settings,  or maybe consult
the hardware provider and Abaqus office.

  Best regards,

From your message I am not sure if the operating system is 64bit (Windows XP Pro 64bit, or Vista 64bit). Without that, even if the processor is 64bit, it runs in 32bit mode. Then, even if the OS is 64bit, you also need the 64bit executable to take advantage of the bigger memory space.

There, that's it. If you are using the IA32 directory, that means you are compiling 32bit objects and linking against 32bit libraries, which means that you can only use the 32bit version of ABAQUS. Did you install the 64bit version of ABAQUS as well? The compiler should have installed 64bit support, and in that case you should be using the corresponding ifortvars.bat. Probably you only need to change that.

Hope this helps,
Fernando
