Title: Location of RCE user constitutive files
Post by: JStorm on May 04, 2020, 10:06:19 PM

I am wondering that the RCE interfaces rvemat, srvemat and trvemat are located at ./elements/.... . Shouldn't they be moved to ./user/?

These are actually not user routines.  They are dummy files to facilitate compiling the hooks in the main code to fe2FEAP.

Thank you Prof. Govindjee. I was confused by the comments "User Constitutive Model for ..."  :P

Thank you for your careful reading, I will correct the comment.  The FE2 module was originally developed as a set of user subroutines and when incorporated into the program as a standard feature the comment was not changed.   I am sure there are other changes not mad too (like some of the routines starting with "u" which is what we usually use to denote a user module.
