14.1 User subroutine to define the magnitude and loading directions of nonuniform distributed surface tractions, edge loads, and edge moments

Product: ABAQUS/Standard  

Benefits: This subroutine allows you to define a nonuniform magnitude and loading direction (if needed) for distributed surface tractions, edge loads, and edge moments.

Description: User subroutine UTRACLOAD can be used to define the variation of a distributed traction load magnitude as a function of position, time, element number, material point number, etc. It can also be used to define the loading directions for general surface tractions, shear tractions, and general edge loads.
