Young Modulus as a function of step

Submitted by Anna G on

Hello,

Does anybody know how change part material during caluculations (between steps) in ABAQUS.

I need to modifie Young modulus of one part in my calculations after first phase of loading.

Thank You in advance 

Anna

and pick the code for rewriting ELASTIC as UMAT. Then include an if-statement in the UMAT according to the step parameter KSTEP. Provide a pair of (Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio) for each step.

In step 1:

EMOD=PROPS(1)

ENU=PROPS(2)

In step 1:

EMOD=PROPS(3)

ENU=PROPS(4)

Good luck
