Hello,

I'm new in this forum and I've a problem that i can't resolve.

I need to model nitinol in Abaqus: I've red the documentation and many topic in Internet but I don't understand if I must use a VUMAT subrutine or it is sufficent the tool of user defined material in Abaqus/CAE. I need something simple like an elastoplatic behaviour with hysteresis given by the different states of austenite and martensite.

Thanks in advance,
