*USER DEFINED FIELD

Redefine field variables at a material point.

This material option is used to allow the values of field variables at a material point to be redefined within an increment via user subroutine USDFLD in Abaqus/Standard analyses or user subroutine VUSDFLD in Abaqus/Explicit analyses. If the USER DEFINED FIELD option is used, it must appear within a MATERIAL definition (Material data definition).
