Hi everyone,

I am new to this website, I have a query related to particular "system error code-144" while executing UMAT's with abaqus. I just want to know the reason behind this. I strongly feel that it is not related to coding mistake. I generally used to get this error frequently while executing UMAT's with abaqus.Please help me if any one went through this kind of errors.

Thanks and regards,
Rohith.

I have not memorized the various error codes ;)
Do you know what error code 144 stands for?

Also, do you know if the error is triggered from inside your UMAT? (You can find that out by adding a print statement at the beginning and another print statement at the end of your code.)

Hi Jorgen,

Thank you. Microsoft gives the following description for the system error code-144 i.e, "The directory is not a sub directory of the root directory". I haven't tried with the print message yet.

I debugged the error just by changing the names of some variables used in the UMAT. But the reason behind is still unknown to me.

Thanks and Regards,
Rohith

The cause for error 144, 142 and 145 has been discussed at length in
the forum
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ABAQUS_USERS/

Search the forum for postings with the string "error 144" resp. "error code 144", and likewise with the other error numbers.

The fuss is not yet resolved. Lately, I could get around this problem using
STATIC, STABILIZE
