Dear Firends,
I have a simple UEL Subroutine with 2D Truss element (hanger). This Truss element is connected to a simply supported beam (Abaqus CAE). This system is loaded only by means of concentrated load P0.

After applying of 100% of P0 the elastic modulus of the hanger shall be reduced at each new step by 5%. As soon the E-modulus is less than 10% of the initial value, the analysys shall be stoppt.

I want to implement this without knowing the number of steps in advance. (is it possible to do so?)

I guess that E-modul shall be implemented as a function of time (or step).

Which statement(Variable to be defined like "KINC") tels to UEL:" continue with analysis in the next step"? or something like this.

Many thanks in advance!

Yurii
