Open Source Unix Shell Mechanical and Civil Engineering Software

This library contains several of user material subroutines for implicit quasi-static (UMAT) and explicit dynamic (VUMAT) versions of the Abaqus solver. The project web site: http://abumpack.sf.net. The Abaqus is a proprietary finite element (FE) code ( http://www.3ds.com/products-services/simulia/products/abaqus/). Users can write subroutines for use with the Abaqus. Linear elastic, isotropic hardening plasticity, Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman (GTN), Rousselier constitutive models are provided. Quote this code as: A. Shterenlikht, N. A. Alexander, Levenberg-Marquardt vs Powell's dogleg method for Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman plasticity model, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 237-240:1-9 (2012).

A collection of Fortran 2003, 90 and 77 routines, modules and programs for automatic simulation based global constrained optimisation. The initial application is for FE simulation of elasto-plastic buckling of steel rods aimed at tuning the hardening model. Unix shell scripts are used extensively. High concurrency is achieved with parallel multi-start global search and with parallel MPI FE. Powell's BOBYQA or LINCOA are used (not included in this package). Automatic mesh generation of 3D cylinders is provided + automatic boundary conditions, all via Fortran and shell scripting.
