This document is the Systems Manual for ABAQUS/EPGEN, a general purpose finite element computer program designed specifically to serve advanced structural analysis needs. ABAQUS/EPGEN is a large, modular, software system, made up of libraries of finite elements, constitutive models, arithmetic routines, and executive level routines that control the flow through the program to provide various analysis procedures. ABAQUS has extensive data files which are managed independently from the engineering/modeling code. The program is written in FORTRAN 77, with additional conventions within the language to ensure that the code is readily portable across different computers and operating systems. This includes support of fully single and fully double precision versions. This manual documents the system design of the code, including detailed descriptions of data file contents, and dictionaries of subroutines and common blocks. This outline can help programmers and development engineers understand the structure of the code and its use on different computers and operating systems. The highly sophisticated, nonlinear computer code supports advanced structural analyses for nuclear and fossil fuel power plant designs. The ABAQUS-EPGEN code analyzes such general nonlinear phenomena as fluid-structure interactions, reinforced concrete behavior, thermal stress, fracture mechanics, and high-temperature structural behavior. 18 refs.
