Element types compatible with Uhyper

[felipestumpf]

Hello everybody.

All the threads about installing Visual C++ and Fortran Compiler and the problems people had with them were absolutely helpfull on my attempts to do so. Thank you very much!

Once I am now using Uhyper subroutine, I started to have a new problem. When modelling and meshing a brick-shaped part and assigning it a User-Defined Hyperelastic material, I get on the .msg file, the following error:

***ERROR: INCOMPRESSIBLE HYPERELASTIC MATERIALS CAN ONLY BE USED WITH HYBRID, PLANE STRESS, OR 1D ELEMENTS

What I did wrong. Since it was Abaqus who automatically meshed the model, how can I assign a brick-shaped part a user-defined, hyperelastic material?

Thank you.

You should be able to make your simulation work by using a hybrid element. You can select a hybrid element type either using Abaqus/CAE or by editing the inp-file directly.
