Hi all,

I'm trying to model a polyurethane foam in compression using the hyperfoam model in Abaqus. I'm doing the analysis for a comparison with other finite element packages, so I am quite new to Abaqus but I am familiar with finite element modelling in general.

I'm trying to find the material parameters that abaqus finds when I input my material data? I would also like to view the experimental data plotted against the material model predictions if it is possible? In other packages, one can find this information in the pre-processing environment but I cant seem to find it anywhere. I am probably making a simple mistake so forgive me if my question seems silly.

The model is solving correctly and the results appear to correlate but I cant be sure of the accuracy of the model until I see the model parameters..

Any help appreciated,

N
