how to store the accumulative stress?

[rgrayeli]

Hi,

how can I store the accumulative stress of elements while creating a new material? I just realized that I can store them by simply using commitstate() but my another question is, how can I restore the saved value after each step or iteration?

thank you in advance;

as the material writer you are in control over the variables the material stores .. if you wanted, you could store every single state the material ever goes through.
