Can anybody help me on AUTODYN subroutine?

Submitted by xiaoxinke on

When I implement failure model into AUTODYN by user subroutine, I fonud there are some differences between  results come from subroutine and  the results computed by AUTODYN'S provided material model. Is there anybody who is kind enough and familiar with AUTODYN's user subroutine to help me? If possible, an example of a failure model(for example, Johnson-Cook failure model) is highly appreciated.
