To enable this feature one has to add the following somewhere in the marc input file:
$mpie periodic x y z
for having periodicity in all directions
$mpie periodic z x
for having periodicity in x and z direction
etc.
Note that this only works for regular meshes!!!
mesh:
elemType identification based on lower case
Abaqus now reports more errors
IO:
new function to inquire whether inputfile contains "parts"
new function to assemble multiply included inputfile into a flat one
awareness of range generation in element numbers
error reporting
# IO has some additional functionality for Abaqus parsing
# ping pong scheme in FE interface now similar (and more human understandable) in both versions
# mesh has better splitting of different tasks, plus operation on database whenever possible
# FEsolver as new global var to indicate FEM solver type
# computation mode reshuffling: 6 is now Marc special case of recycling...
debugging memory leak closed
debugging counters corrected
center of gravity stored in mesh
state updated is now split into a collecting loop and an execution
updateState and updateTemperature fill sequentially separate logicals and evaluate afterwards to converged
added 3x3 transposition function, norm for 3x1 matrix and 33x3 matrix multiplication in math
non-converged crystallite triggers materialpoint cutback (used to respond elastically)
non-converged materialpoint raises terminal illness which in turn renders whole FE increment useless by means of odd stress/stiffness and thus waits for FE cutback
