Description

Product Overview:

The UMAT subroutine in Abaqus is one of the most powerful tools for customizing material behavior in finite element simulations. Before diving into advanced applications, it’s essential to understand the basics of Abaqus, what subroutines are, and how UMAT fits into defining stress-strain responses.

This beginner-friendly tutorial provides a clear introduction to the UMAT subroutine through a simple tensile test model. You’ll learn the core concept of using UMAT—not just to define material properties, but to control how materials respond to loadings using stress-based criteria like Von Mises. This video is ideal for those starting out with UMAT or looking for a practical example to build upon.
