hey all,
I want to know whether i can apply two UMAT's in one subroutine.
Actually i have one umat for viscoplastic material and other umat for elastoplastic material.i want to know how can i use these two subroutines and make as one and run with the abaqus input file.

I tried just naming a UMAT subroutine and then I changed the names of the two subroutines to UMAT_INNER and UMAT_OUTER.
i applied this by having a if then else statement and i got a error saying u have similiar symbols of umat.error 1169

can any body tell me how can i implement this
