You're looking for a material point simulator. There are a handful, but are at varying levels of ease-of-use. I would suggest you use MatModLab2 https://github.com/matmodlab/matmodlab2, which is implemented in Python. There are some examples in the codebase that show how to get your UMAT hooked up. A VUMAT would be very similar.
If you dig through the documentation you can find a page about user-defined materials.
Download the package and first try to understand the basic built-in python models and then try to get the fortran examples to work.
I have a Matlab code for a material point in 1D and 3D. It is von mises isotropic hardening model. I have to calculate the stress and plastic strain for a given strain.
My doubt is how do I compare the 3D model results with the 1D model? Should I set the poison's ratio to "zero", give strain increment in xx direction only and compare the stress in xx direction to 1D results?
If I do that, the stress - strain curve matches only till there is no hardening, after that the stress values don't match. How should I verify if my 3D model is consistent with 1D model ? please help!

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Thanks a lot for your answer. It's something new for me, I'll check it.
Material Model in 3D vs Material model in 1D
Please spare my limited knowledge!

1D vs 3D
Plastic deformation preserves volume, i.e., Poisson's ratio is 0.5 in the range of plastic strains.
This is presumably implemented in the 3D-code.
