To plot a variable

Submitted by nitinchandola on

Hi everybody,
 
I have a question. I am using a UMAT and calculating a variable (tau=resolved shear stress) within the UMAT using other variables calculated in the UMAT for each time step. Now I want to plot this variable. How can I do this? This variable is not  only a function of pre-defined variables but also a function of variables calculated in the UMAT. 
 
I tried going through the USDFLD, UFIELD and UVARM subroutines but could not figure this out
 
Any help will be appreciated

 Hi Nitin,

 Define the variable tau as state variable and that keeps updating after every increment and u can plot these variable by checking the option SDV (1,2,....) depending on the no. of field variables u use for the problem.
