Material modelling

This blog explains how to compile CALCULIX. This is a critical point required for introducing new user subroutines. The blog is not a comprehensive guide; it is only a description step-by-step of the procedure that we have followed, as an example of the process.

This blog initiates a series of post about creating user material subroutines, with illustrative examples. Finite element software, as ABAQUS or CALCULIX supports advanced material modeling through user-defined subroutines, specifically the User Material (UMAT). These subroutines allow for defining complex material behaviors not included in the material models library. In this article, we provide an overview of

Ever wondered how engineers and researchers can test the strength and durability of concrete before it’s even mixed? Enter VCCTL (Virtual Cement and Concrete Testing Laboratory), a powerful tool that allows you to model and analyze the mechanical properties of concrete before it’s even mixed. Let’s dive into how you can leverage VCCTL to develop
