Introduction to UEL Subroutine in ABAQUS

UEL stands for user-defined element. When you want to define various element shape functions, UEL would be your choice. This subroutine is one of the most difficult subroutines in Abaqus. In this Subroutine, element-based equations and relationships between the element stiffness and node forces should be defined.

UEL subroutine will be called for each element that is of a general user-defined element type each time element calculations are required and should perform all of the element calculations to appropriate in the current activity of the analysis.

In this subroutine, the properties of the material change to an arbitrary dependent variable.
