input file

[idaapm]

Hi,
I've developed an UMAT but I don't know if the errors that I'm having are related with the UMAT or with the input file. How can I run my input file using a standard subroutine from Abaqus?
Thanks.

If you do not know whether your error is because of your UMAT or not, then choose a material that is supposed to be a simplification of your UMAT and see how good the convergence is. If that does not help, then try simplifying your UMAT (by making some variable equal to zero or 1, or change it to make it work like an in-built material, for example) and check if the results make sense.
