constitutive laws for SMA are, as a rule, user-defined. Several models exist to describe SMA behavior.
I am working on SMA modeling using the model named after Mueller, Achenbach and Seelecke. The code is implemented in the user material interface in ABAQUS as a FORTRAN routine. It should be feasible to do the same in Patran or MSC Marc.

Hi,
Hi,
I'm student and I'm doing a project on Shape memory alloy......does any body know how to model SMA
using Patran and MSC.Marc? Do we have some tutoriol?
