Dear All
I have writed a elastoplastic VUMAT to analyse a model in abaqus explisit code but after the analysis was finished, i can not observe the plastic strain conutors in it, in the onther word there is not PE option at odb field output. I rewuest you to give a favor to me. I am confused
thanks
built-in model vs. subroutine
These output quantities are only known to ABAQUS if you use built-in plasticity. If using subroutines, ABAQUS has no means to interpret the various contributions to strain.
To verify your model compare your code with the output generated by the standard command PLASTIC.

Define state variables in your subroutine
You could include state variables in your subroutine including the plastic strain components and a defined equivalent plastic strain.
