As local damage models are mesh sensitive so i am going to add non locality in my local model (in Abaqus VUMAT ) that requires gradient of damage variable.
since in abaqus VUMAT I can only access local information (coordinates, stress,). but for calculating the damage gradient requires coordinates and damage variable at all Integration point(IP) at current increment
Can somebody help me to find out global information in VUMAT
Thanks
