Z-mat

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to incorporate Z-mat files in ABAQUS to simulate complex constitutuve models of polymers. While I have worked with UMAT subroutines before Z-mat is something new. Can somebody explain why Z-mat is necessary and are there any differences between conventional UMAT/VUMAT and Z-mat files?

Thanks.

What is Z-set

Z-set is a computational code devoted to the analysis of material and
structure behavior, involving a finite element solver and a collection
of specific tools for material parameter calibration, preprocessing and
postprocessing computations. Z-set is the result of 30 years of close collaboration between the
