Dear All,

I would like to have a simulation in which I can model both ductile and cleavage damage. For that I want GTN damage to run for some time and then I am planning to define a criteria based on f* of GTN to define cleavage. or if I want to implement GTN without using porous material property, how can I do it using USDFLD. I dont want to go to UMAT as it seems difficult. Any hint will work.
Thanks.
