Generate its own user routines in FORGE®

Written by Elodie Lebègue | Jul 6, 2020

Did you know that it is possible to generate its own user solver in FORGE® software?

 

What's a User variable?

A user variable is, as its name suggests, a variable that the user can create either by using existing variables, or by entirely writing to meet specific needs. A user variable is calculated by a user law.

Thanks to the source files of User Variables which are available in free access, it is possible to code its own user routines in FORGE®:
  • behavior laws
  • damage laws
  • fatigue laws
  • friction laws
  • and many more !

 

How to implement a user variable in FORGE®?

To implement a user law, it's necessary to have a suitable development environment and have knowledge of the Fortran 90 programming language.

Once compiled, the new library (DLL) will be associated with a solver and declared as a new user solver. Then, this solver can be used to solve calculations and will provide personalized results tailored to your needs.
