VUMAT Error

Submitted by priyadd84 on

Hi all ... I did a simple one element elastic simulation of VUMAT and everything
(force balance) is fine.My aim is to change
young's modulus during runtime using strain rate data. So i want to
write VUMAT for the elastic model only and plastic model
(Drucker-Prager) and damage models i want to use the inbuilt one. But
when i tried to run *drucker prager along with my VUMAT i got the
following error.

The option *user material,type=mechanical completely
defines the material behavior. It can not be used with an option that
defines part of a material`s behavior

*drucker prager requires the use of *elastic, *porous elastic, or the combination of *eos and *eos shear, type=elastic options



A material property that is not allowed with a user material has been specified



Analysis Input File Processor exited with an error.



As
i dun want to code drucker prager and rest of the stuff. Is there a way
to tell *drucker prager tht my VUMAT  actually the *Elastic?. Thanks.
