Hi Everyone,

Is there a way to force Abaqus to repeat an incremental calculations? Let us assume that we want the cohesion in mohr-coulomb to be dependent to a field variable like equivalent plastic strain rate. We know that Abaqus does not update a field variable during stress calculation. I would like to find a way to force Abaqus to repeat that increment but with new field variable which is updated at the end of current increment before going to the next increment. Of course, for accurate solution we need to write UMAT for this kind of material properties, but I want to avoid that. Thank you very much for any help.
