3.3. User Defined Materials

Overview

Matmodlab calls user defined materials at each deformation increment through all analysis steps. User defined materials are

• written in fortran or python
• called from python

User Material Interface

Matmodlab provides two avenues for interacting with user materials

• Python User Material Interface
• Fortran User Material Interface

Of the two options, the fortran interface is the most similar to typical FE code interfaces.
