Dear all,

As I know, GETVRM returns values in integration points in usdfld subroutine. I want to set a limit value to fail the elements and as sometimes element nodes reach this value sooner than integration points, I want to set it for nodes rather than integration points.
Does any one know what should I do?

Thank you in advanced
