I'm undertaking a failure analysis of a screw conveyor.

I wish to conisder the residual stresses from the welding procedure during manufacture.

I have located a technical brief which describes such an analysis:

http://imechanica.org/files/Industrial-SIMULIA-Tech-Brief-05-Welding-Simulation-Full.pdf

The brief however does not contain a link to where I can find the actual code for the mentioned sub routines.

The Abaqus manual contains the sub routine templates but not the actual code.

Can some one help me locate such code or identify another other way I could undertake such an analysis?

Regards,
