My goal is to use a biphasic poroviscoleastic material model for cartilage. But the C3D8P element type is only accessible via the implicit analysis. If I were to use VUMAT to code the biphasic behavior, the fluid pressure term won't be provided or accessible like it is in UMAT.
So my question...
plain and simple: I have 3 seperate Static steps (each with their own loading conditions) and I want ABAQUS to run them in a loop for 50 times. how can I get this done?! i.e. step1,step2,step3,step1,step2,step3,...
more info: each step should be run for 1 increment, so the whole analysis should...
I am using usdfld to simulate the bone remodeling response. This is the subroutine that SIMULIA suggests for this application, although many researchers use UMAT.

Using USDFLD, I want to use a "look up table" to relate Young's Modulus ( E ) and Density (ro) of the material, to "Strain Energy...
