Hello Community,

A simple question in Abaqus V.11, is it possible to use both the UMAT subroutine and the UDMGINI subroutine?

Hence in the input deck we would add to corporate:

UMAT:

*User Material, constants=XX
DATALINE 

UDMGINI:

*Damage initiation, criterion=user, failure mechanisms=1
DATALINE 
*Damage evolution, type=XX, failure index=1
DATALINE  

If the answer is YES we can link both UDMGINI and UMAT, the stress strain tensors in UDMGINI would be coming directly from the UMAT? Does Abaqus recognise this? How do we execute UDMGINI subroutine? 

Kind regards,
