Dear colleagues,

I have a question regarding the postprocessing program felbow.f written in Fortran and provided in the Abaqus manual: http://abaqus.ethz.ch:2080/v6.11/books/exa/default.htm?startat=ch14s01aex154.html#exa-pst-felbow

My question is: how can I make working felbow.f together with Abaqus 6.11-3 in order to produce an output file output.dat which I can use in the Visualization module of Abaqus/CAE (Abaqus/Viewer)? Do I need to have Fortran Compiler installed? I do not have experience with using Fortran, neither any subroutine for Abaqus.

I need that for to visualize the results (stresses, strains, ovalization shapes along a cross section) from my pipe structure analysis. I have been reading the explanations in the Abaqus manual (from the link above) as well as the text explanation in felbow.f but unfortunately it doesn’t make it clear.

Such a procedure is done in one example from the Abaqus manual: http://abaqus.ethz.ch:2080/v6.11/books/exa/default.htm?startat=ch01s01aex03.html

Practically, I would like to plot the same figures of ovalization of a cross section as they do.

Thank you for any help in advance!

Regards,

Yordan Venev
