14.6 Utility routine to obtain the volume fraction in Eulerian elements

Benefits: You can now obtain the volume fraction in Eulerian elements in Abaqus/Explicit using the utility routine VGETVRM.

Description: The volume fraction in Eulerian elements can now be obtained using the utility routine VGETVRM through the output variable key EVF. The utility routine VGETVRM can be called from the utility routine VUSDFLD, where the volume fraction can be saved as either a state or a field variable; this variable can then be used in user subroutines such as VUMAT.
