Several questions for VUMAT

Hi all, I am a new ABAQUS VUMAT user. Recently I try to define the matreial behavior in stamping of sheet metal  through the VUMAT. there are several questions about VUMAT.


(1)accoring to the ABAQUS user manual,for plane stress problem,stressnew(nblock,ndir+nshr), where ndir=3,nshr=1, but in fact,there are 5 stress commponents: sigma_{11},sigma_{22},sigma_{12},sigma_{23},sigma_{31}. how to match stressnew(*,i)(i=1,2,3,4) with the stress commponents: sigma_{11},sigma_{22},sigma_{12},sigma_{23},sigma_{31}?

in my view, the direct commponents:tressnew(*,1)=sigma_{11},stressnew(*,2)=sigma_{22},stressnew(*,3)=sigma_{33} and the indirect commponent:stressnew(*,4)=sigma_{12}. However,how about sigma_{23}and sigma_{31}?。

how to update the  sigma_{23}and sigma_{31}?

Is it right to use the transverse shear stiffness update thesigma_{23}and sigma_{31} ? for example K*(epsilon_{23},epsilon_{31}) where K means the transverse shear stiffness?
(2)the following is a simple example of the coding of subroutine VUMAT in ABAQUS user manual. there are two questions:
where was STATE(*,i)(i=1,2,3,4,5) defined?andwhere was props(i)(i=1,2,3,4) defined?
