Dear all, I am a PhD student in Hohai University. Recently I have been trying to simulate a triaxial compression test using the hypoplasticity model for clay. The UMAT subroutine is provided by Pro Masin on this website (umat_hcea.for). Figure 1 shows the parameters that I set in the model based on the link ‘https://web.natur.cuni.cz/uhigug/masin/plaxumat/node6.html’, but there is no result or error in the calculation, as shown in Figure 2. Could you please tell me what is the possible reason for this problem?
it does not look like a warning of hp_umat.
it’s probably from another abaqus material
yeah， I set another material in this model that led to this warning which disappeared after deleting this material .
Hi Tao Zhu, try to define 20 material-parameters instead of 29 (for PLAXIS) and 16 state-variables (depvar). I already have used this model with Abaqus. The model was running perfectly.
Thanks for your advice. I have defined 20 material-parameters instead of 29, but it doesn’t work and the error is ‘User subroutine umat is missing’. There should be no problem with the path of the user subroutine file. Could you please tell me what is the possible reason for this problem?
I read the umat subroutine ‘umat_hcea.for’ and I think the number of the material-parameters should be 22—alpha_power=parms(21)，avoid=props(22).
However the sand model with ‘umat.for’ can run perfectly… I’m really confused that the clay model aborted with the error ‘User subroutine umat is missing’ but the sand model can run successfully.
Dear Tao,
I guess the issue is simply to solve. Open the umat_hcea.for with your favorite text/code editor and change the name from ” subroutine umat_hcea(…” to ” subroutine umat(…”.
best regards,
Hans
Dear Hans, Thank you very much! It really works!
