Hi all
I am modeling a complex muscle with fibre reinforced. The fibre direction is not constant in this muscle. It is changing with the integration point in the model. Is there anyone who got idea on how to simulate the variable fibre directions in Abaqus? Can user subroutine ORIENT do this?
Many thanks,

hi
I constructed a head model, which includes muscle, soft tissue, skin and bone. I wrote user material subroutine (umat) for muscle and soft tissue, seperately. I am going to define the muscle and soft tissues properties by using my umats. However, I dont know how to define two user material subroutines (umat) in one model. The subroutines share the same name: subroutine umat(...). If I assign two umats, ABAQUS will be confused, wont know which subroutine to go. Is there anybody who knows how to sort this out?
Many thanks,
ben
