ProductsAbaqus/Standard Special considerations for various element typesThere are several special considerations that need to be noted. Shells that calculate transverse shear energyWhen UHYPER is used to define the material response of shell elements that calculate transverse shear energy, Abaqus/Standard cannot calculate a default value for the transverse shear stiffness of the element. Hence, you must define the element's transverse shear stiffness. See Shell section behavior for guidelines on choosing this stiffness. Elements with hourglassing modesIf this capability is used to describe the material of elements with hourglassing modes, you must define the hourglass stiffness for hourglass control based on the total stiffness approach. The hourglass stiffness is not required for enhanced hourglass control, but you can define a scaling factor for the stiffness associated with the drill degree of freedom (rotation about the surface normal). See Section controls. User subroutine interface SUBROUTINE UHYPER(BI1,BI2,AJ,U,UI1,UI2,UI3,TEMP,NOEL,
