Most efficient way to define material properties for every node
Most efficient way to define material properties for every node
(OP)
Dear all,
I'm working on cartilage regeneration prediction model. I have my cartilage model working. After each analysis, I want to update the material properties of every node and start a new analysis. After this second analysis, (again) I want to update the material properties of every node,...(and so on).
How can I do that most efficiently?
I was thinking on adapting my input file after each analysis. But do I have to make a 'new' material for every node? (because every node has different properties).
Thanks in advance,
M.
