Most efficient way to define material properties for every node

[0198906s]

Dear all,

I'm working on cartilage regeneration prediction model. I have my cartilage model working. After each analysis, I want to update the material properties of every node and start a new analysis. After this second analysis, (again) I want to update the material properties of every node,...(and so on).

How can I do that most efficiently?

I was thinking on adapting my input file after each analysis. But do I have to make a 'new' material for every node? (because every node has different properties).

Thanks in advance,

M.
