Salutations to all.
I’m new to UMAT in Abaqus and would like to construct UMAT for “shell” elements for an anisotropic and isotropic material. Can anyone recommend any books, websites, or other sources of information that could be helpful?
Many thanks.

Hello,

If you have just started to write the UMAT subroutine, I recommend reading the articles which I share their links below:

Start Writing Your 1st UMAT Abaqus

Start Writing Your 1st UMAT Abaqus

also, watch this demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96sfwnvLHkA

This package contains tutorial videos for the UMAT subroutine, required files for the modeling and writing of the subroutine, examples of isotropic materials and shell elements, etc.

And if your model is orthotropic, and shell element or continuum shell or anything than 3D continuum solid, check the link below:

Simulation of Unidirectional Composite Damage in ABAQUS

for 3D continuum solid element and fatigue analysis, check the following links:

3D continuum Abaqus HASHIN progressive Damage for composite materials (VUMAT Subroutine)

Composite Fatigue Simulation with UMAT Subroutine in ABAQUS (unidirectional)

Best regards.
