Abaqus/Explicit 2022 or 2024 job does not run if the number of 3D elements (VUMAT) are beyond 14k

Hi all,

As the title says, I'm working on an Abaqus/Explicit model with 3D C3D8R elements which have a VUMAT for their constitutive behaviour. It works great if the number of elements is less than 14k. However, anything beyond that just doesn't run 😕 

I get the following .log,. dat and .exception file (in the link below). I am tearing my hair off trying to understand what's going on.

 

I would appreciate any help from the community. 

Thank you!
