5. Architecture, ergonomics, performances#

5.1. Ergonomic#

Easy programming of laws of behavior:

  • No computer architecture knowledge required: 1 file to create, 2 files to modify

  • See document [D5.04.01] « Introducing a new law of behavior »

  • Extensive description via catalogs of laws of behavior

External programming of laws of behavior by interfacing UMAT

  • Abaqus user behavior law definition format

  • Ease of compilation thanks to the as_run tool

  • Small/large deformations

Simplifying field names

  • From 3 items, we go to 2: SIEF_ELNO_ELGA becomes SIEF_ELNO

  • Translator available

5.2. Performances#

More efficient and measurable memory management by displaying consumption

Generalization of parallel computing

Change a keyword ( SOLVEUR *) + specify the number of processors

  • Distribution of elementary calculations

  • Solving parallel linear systems

  • ISO-functionality with sequential
