Getting the strain increments for gradient plasticity implementation

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Hello there

I am working on gradient plasticity implementation by using UMAT in Abaqus software.

I need to access the value of total strain incriment for all integration points after the UMAT has been called for the first integration point.

As I know, the value of strian incriment for one specific integration point will be passed to UMAT when that point called through UMAT,

but I just wonder is there any way to get these values at the starting point of each time incriment and do not wait for Abaqus to call all integration points.

I really appreciate any help related to that
