I am using LS-DYNA Student version and I want to work on umat. ls dynada what should I download and what should I install?

Hello,
Are you not able to download the student version? If so, you can download the LS-DYNA Student version from this website: Ansys LS-DYNA Student Version | Ansys

More installation instructions and what capabilities are included in this are mentioned on the same site. To implement UMAT routines, you will need a compatible Fortran compiler. This is crucial for compiling your user-defined material models. Download the object version of LS-DYNA that corresponds to your installed version. This typically comes in a compressed package (e.g., _lib.zip) which contains the necessary libraries for UMAT development. More details can be found in this external git repo: https://github.com/jfriedlein/usrmat_LS-Dyna_Fortran

I'm not sure if you could do this with a student version. Please let us know your material requirements, we can suggest the best *MAT inbuilt model.

Regards,

Nanda.
