You will master the Phase-field fracture methodology for elasto-plastic solids by implementing staggered numerical schemes in Abaqus using UMAT and UEL subroutines. By analyzing models like the Single Edge Notched tension and shear tests, you will gain the specific skills needed to simulate complex crack propagation and predict material failure in professional engineering research.

This training is designed for mechanical, structural, and materials engineers, as well as PhD researchers and FEA specialists who focus on fracture mechanics and damage modeling. It is specifically tailored for advanced Abaqus users who need to implement custom constitutive models and numerical schemes using Fortran subroutines (UMAT and UEL). Professionals working on predicting failure in elasto-plastic materials or developing high-fidelity research simulations will find these materials most beneficial.

The value of this training lies in the immediate access to specialized expertise and highly technical resources that typically require months of advanced research to develop from scratch. By providing a comprehensive framework for Phase-field fracture in elasto-plastic solids, this package delivers ready-to-use Fortran subroutines (UMAT and UEL) and validated Abaqus models that are not found in standard manuals. This structured approach allows for bypassing the steep learning curve of implementing custom numerical schemes, significantly reducing R&D costs and time-to-results.

Furthermore, the training transforms complex theoretical formulations into practical engineering tools, enabling the replacement of expensive and time-consuming physical prototyping with high-fidelity numerical simulations. This investment provides the specific skills needed to customize code for unique research requirements and ensures a level of accuracy in failure prediction that is critical for professional-grade structural analysis and academic excellence.

The PDF and Video provided in this training are in English. They are error-free, and presented in a clear and straightforward manner, making it easy for anyone with a basic understanding of English to follow.

We fully and unconditionally guarantee the accuracy and functionality of our content, ensuring it matches the descriptions provided on our website. This guarantee covers any discrepancies between the training and the presented syllabus, as well as any issues with the files, code, and videos you receive. For more information you can check the Terms and Conditions.

The files included in this training are checked on Abaqus 2022. However, we have provided the input (INP) files to allow you to run the simulations on other versions as well. Please note that subroutine arguments may vary slightly between Abaqus releases. If you encounter any version-specific errors, you may need to adjust these parameters manually; however, we will do our best to assist you if possible.

By purchasing this package, you will get access to the following:

• Training video: To facilitate your learning experience, we provide video tutorials that complement the PDF guide. These videos offer an in-depth explanation of the code and guide you through each workshop, demonstrating exactly how to analyze the files and interpret the results.

• PDF file: Upon purchasing this training package, you will receive a comprehensive PDF Guide. This document covers all the necessary theories and mathematical formulations. Furthermore, we provide a detailed line-by-line (or block-by-block) explanation of the subroutines, ensuring you understand exactly how the code is structured and implemented.

• Abaqus inp Files You will receive full access to the Abaqus inp files for all workshops, along with the Fortran source codes, allowing you to keep and utilize them for your own projects.
