The User Supplied Material utilizes the material model generated by the user using the Pre/Post of the program. The total stress, interior variable, strain and strain increment amount is basically given at the integral points to calculate the stress and tangent slope converged to the User Supplied Material. Nonlinear elastic materials and nonlinear elasto-plastic materials are applied and the supported elements are planar strain, axis symmetry and solid element. Refer to the separately attached 'User Supplied Subroutine (Appendix)" for more information.

User Supplied Material library file

Select the User Specified Model DLL file path on Windows explorer.

Number of parameters

Input the number of parameters needed to define the materials. For example, input the material properties such as Elasticity modulus or Poisson’s ratio needed for the User Supplied Material.

Number of internal state variables

Save the variables needed for the next repetitive calculation. In this case, real type variables are saved such as plastic strain.

Number of integer indicator variables

If the interior state variables were saved as real type variables, the integer indicator variables are saved as integer type variables such as plasticity state index.
