Hi everyone,
I am wondering if I can neglect DDSDDT definition in UMAT, for a coupled thermal-structural analysis?
I have defined DDSDDE, RPL, DRPLDT and DRPLDE.
Since, the accuracy of DDSDDT could just affect the convergence, not the final results, I am eager to know if I can totally eliminate DDSDDT definition in my routine code?
thanks for any helpful comment
