Hello everyone,
I hope you are all doing well. As I want to use OpenFOAM for the simulation of a beam subjected to fire/heat loads, I was wondering if there is a way to couple Abaqus and OpenFOAM using PreCICE. If yes, I would truly appreciate it if you could share a link to a tutorial/case run by other researchers, as I couldn’t find any.
Thank you in advance for helping me out.
@FarzadJ20 to my knowledge, there is no publicly available Abaqus adapter at the moment. But your application reminds me of this talk we had at our 2024 workshop:
There is indeed no adapter for Abaqus, but here is a `VUMAT.f` which couples a mechanics simulation in Abaqus using preCICE: two-scale-mechanics/meso-abaqus-crossply/VUMAT.f at main · IshaanDesai/two-scale-mechanics · GitHub
In that script, strains and stresses are exchanged. This is a good starting point to work out how you could couple your Abaqus case via a `VUMAT.f` or a similar user-defined routine.
