Dear Madam or Sir,
My name is Antal Bakonyi, I am a PhD student from Széchenyi István University, Department of Whole Vehicle Engineering from Győr, Hungary. My PhD research topic is:
Virtual lifetime estimation of solder joints under thermomechanical loading
My question: Is there any opportunity for a license trial which can support UMAT/VUMAT user subroutines?
I have used ABAQUS teaching license for my research so far, and it was very helpful in the research and also in the teaching. Currently I am researching the lead-free solder joints microstructural effects on the lifetime, and I am using DAMASK (https://damask-multiphysics.org/installation/) and it's solver to produce results with respect to the microstructure of the solder joints. However, DAMASK currently has some limitations, since it is using spectral solver, and the boundary condition can be only periodic. That is why I am really interested in the CPFEM module which is written for ABAQUS. In Abaqus software adding the boundary condition is more flexible, and also the meshing can be more advanced, since DAMASK can only use today grid solver.
However, ABAQUS student and teaching license is not support UMAT/VUMAT codes, and I can not run the CPFEM module with the current license. I am writing this e-mail, because for my PhD research I need to use UMAT/VUMAT user subroutines.
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Antal Bakonyi
