my task is to simulate hardness(w.r.t. cooling rate) of a plate that has gone through hot stamping. I have simulated the hot stamping process in ABAQUS and took time vs temperature at every node as output. Then i have written a MATLAB code to calculate cooling rate and hardness( wrt cooling rate) . But i want to so the visualization of hardness in the plate in ABAQUS. Hence, anyone please tell me how to give the calculated hardness value from matlab as an input to ABAQUS to simulate hardness in ABAQUS? or is there any other method to calculate hardnes( wrt cooling ) in ABAQUS and simulate it?

thanks in advance
