This repository consists the work of my Mini Thesis titled "Implementation of a Viscoelastic Model for Hydrogels in ABAQUS" for the M.Sc. Computer-Aided Mechanical Engineering course at RWTH Aachen University. The outcome of this work was a User Material Subroutine based on the Finite Viscoelasticity Theory with multiple relaxation mechanisms and 1-parameter Ogden Models for the strain energy function.
