How to use Abaqus UEL subroutine? | Learn the basics of UEL with a simple example

UEL stands for user-defined element. It is a powerful tool that allows you to define your own custom element types beyond the ones available in the built-in library. In this video, you'll learn when you need to use UEL, how it works, its variables, and learn how to work with it in simple examples. Some common applications of UEL subroutines include: Simulating phase-field modeling (PFM) and Theory of Porous Media (TPM) for brittle fracture simulation. Expanding existing fracture techniques to handle large-scale engineering problems. Predicting the mechanical behavior of complex materials like clay/epoxy nanocomposites. Writing a UEL subroutine is considered advanced and requires a strong understanding of finite element theory, Fortran programming, and Abaqus's internal workings. The subroutine involves defining the element's shape functions, material properties, and relationships between element stiffness and nodal forces. 0:00- Intro 1:28- When we need to use UEL subroutine? 4:39- How to use UEL subroutine? | subroutine variables 5:31- Example 1: element beam with nonlinear behavior 8:19- Example 1: Simulation and results 20:18- Example 2: Beam element with specific boundary conditions 23:31- Example 2: Results 26:52- Epilogue
