***debug

Description

This command indicates that debug output will be included during the run. This is primarily for user-defined functions and behavior models using the prn set of C++ functions. The command will also print out the active list of auto-load keywords so one may verify if a particular function is loaded with the Z-mat/ABAQUS link.

Output from the debug statements will be in a file named OUT located in the given directory (full path). If no path is given, and the library is unable to determine the problem directory, the full path of the output file is /tmp/OUT. This path sometimes helps to get around the problem copying to a scratch directory by ABAQUS.

Syntax

***debug [ path ] \(~\,~\,\) [ *local_debug ele  gp ] \(~\,~\,\) [ *flags flags ] \(~\,~\,\) [ *limit_debug_time st  end ]

where path is the path to use for storing the OUT debug file.

*local_debug

localize the debug output to a given element number and a given Gauss point number.

*flags

Set flags for the internal int DeBuG. This is used control what gets printed. One can use the prn2 to make certain debug selections. See the developer manual for more information.

*limit_debug_time

Limit the time for debug output. Give the start and end time for debug output in the solution time scale.

Example

The following example is taken from material input file e3danis located in test database directory Z-mat/umat_v61.
