Hello everyone,

I plane to connect a third party software to Abaqus using UAMP subroutine. I want to apply at every new time step the new value of load to my model. If I correct understand I can use the utility routines GETSENSORVALUE to update the load value at each time step.

an Example code from abaqus manual is presented below.

Unfortunately I did understand, how exactly and where can i specify the "mySensorName". I understend that it is only a name of the sensor. But, how can i connect the name of sensor to abaqus? So, how does Abaqus understand that it is the name of particular Sensor.

For example, if I use TCP socket function, I have to provide IP and Port number.

Many thanks in advance!

c     get sensor value
      dMySensorValue  = GetSensorValue(mySensorName,
     *                             jSensorLookUpTable,
     *                             sensorValues)
