14.3 User-defined fluid pipe friction available for fluid pipe elements

Product: Abaqus/Standard

Benefits: You can now specify a user-defined friction loss factor when fluid flows through a fluid pipe element.

Description: You can use user subroutine UFLUIDPIPEFRICTION in coupled pore fluid flow/stress analysis to determine the friction factor to be used for computing the pressure loss across a fluid pipe element.
