Shear Failure

[ashu28]

Hi,
I wanted to ask whether I can supply different shear failure criterion for different element sets in the same model ?
I searched through the documentation but could not find any info about multiple shear failure criterion.

Can anyone please let me know whether and how can I do this ?

Are your failure criteria coded in UMAT?
If so, I think you can use different UMAT to different element set by setting different material names to them?

Unfortunately, they are not. I am not using a UMAT or a VUMAT for this particular study. I am using an elastic/plastic model, so I wanna know how to achieve different failure conditions in input file. Can anyone please let me know how to do this ?

I figured out how to do that. Problem solved [:)]
Thank you..
