I want to simulate damage in Abaqus. I have few questions about this.
1. Can I add damage criteria/evolution with simple elastic-plastic material (in which we just need to provide yld stress-strain values). The manual says Damage can be used with JC, vM plasticity models!

2. I do not have any experimental data for damage initiation/evolution. How do I provide the strain-rate in damage criteria in Static/General simulation? is there a way to obtain the strain-rate from the simulation?

Please help. Any suggestion would be of extreme help. BTW, I read the document at:
ftp://ftp.demec.ufpr.br/disciplinas/TM738/l9-damage-failure.pdf

Thanks a lot in advance,

Regards,
