Many of you developed Finite Element codes. These codes are usually quite complex. So you all know the importance of testing your results to see if what you programmed makes sense. The usual approach is to compare your FEM program with somethig already published. With this in mind, I designed a series of "lectures" on the topic of elasticity solutions for plates. You can find the details in
I am modeling a RBC(red blood cell) membrane using shell181 element and
using neo hookean model. But when I try to solve it, it gives error. I
couldnt figure out the cause. Please help me.
This is my input file for creating the model.

I plan to use UMAT to do some simulations on soft tissue. Since I do not have experiences on this, I hope to find some example UMAT code to start with, especially on the thermo-elasto-pelastic models. I searched from google.com, but can not find useful information. Is there any resource on UMAT fortran code for downloading? Thank you very much.

Thanks to Marino, I have found the reason for the difference in our bending stiffness calculation. The original discussion is here:

The Department of Mechanical Science and Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is actively seeking candidates for faculty positions in all areas of mechanical science and engineering. This includes candidates whose research interests are in mechanical science and engineering but whose backgrounds are in another area of engineering, or in biology, chemistry, physics, or applied mathematics. Information about the department, and the relevant research areas, can be found at http://mechse.illinois.edu/.
Can any body give me source links to the basic formulation of the angle term of Modified Morse Potential, which gives the bond energy due to bond angle bending.
Angle term of the Modified Morse Potential is provided through the below paper.
