Hi
Is there any way where I can creat a field variable representing the second order work ( dsij.deij )
dsij is the incremental stress tensor and deij is incremental strain tensor
Thanks
 
No. Maybe a state variable.
 
Xerf what do you mean "Maybe a state variable"
 
Field variables are associated with nodes.
State variables are associated with integration points.
The material stiffness matrix is computed at each integration point.
