Thank you for such a guidance, it running well now but seem too long to finish. significant different compared to Modified MC material models, several seconds to minutes and it’s about 95% completed (I stopped the calculation). Not to be excited since Mazars/MFront is a brittle damage material models.

There’s an updated from MFront official webs, latest version has DruckerPragerCap material models. Look a great deal for both acuraccy & computational times comparing to Modified MC and Mazars.

Can you kindly share an updated version of MFront/CalculiX integration? so many thanks for times & effort.
