HELP : DLL file modification in 3DECv5.2

Hi,

Can you provide me any advice on how to use DLL files to modify the existing joint constitutive model / to create UDM? Can I obtain any information on it?

How to call the new UDM? Any example file would help!
Thanks!

Hi @VijayKiranKota !

3DEC5.2 documention provides details on how to build UDM models whether for zones or joints.
I dont’ think there is online documentation, but you will find the tutorial and explanations in the Constitutive Models / Section3 : Writing New Constitutive Models section of the pdf version.
In addition, example files are provided in the pluginfiles/jmodels/example subfolder of your 3DEC520 installation directory, and can be compiled directly using Visual Studio 2010 (maybe later versions work).

Hope it will help!

Regards

The documentation in 5.2 is not that comprehensive. Here is a supplemental document that may help.

Thank you: Theophile and Jim, for your responses.

You can try writing fish for new stress strain relation and get equivalent new constitutive model if only slight modification in constitutive model is required.

Hi Binu,
how can I contact you to have more discussion?

Hi, HASAL. you can contact here also.

Dear Binu,

I’m not sure whether you will receive my response via email or not; anyways I will try it.
I’m trying to use a cohesive crack model for contacts between voronois in the UDEC GBM model. I have the so-called H files of this model but I couldn’t manage to implement it in my models. Do you have any idea in this regard? or could you share any other alternatives two implement a cohesive crack in UDEC, for instance by using FISH as you mentioned in the forum?

thanks

Hello ASAL, I have not imported H files. I simply imported dfx files and done it. Can you share H file foe exploration.

Dear Binu

Sorry to reply to you late. Is it possible for you to leave an email address so I can send you the file?
