How can i input data for subroutine USERMAT in ANSYS ?

07 July 2015 1 4K Report

I am using USERMAT.F subroutine for both two different materials steel and FRP. I dont know how to input data using TB, USER command for two different types of materials. I am using USERMAT3D for steel and USERMAT for FRP.
