Dear Jean-Paul,

Thank you for the suggestions. I have already looked through the 
"Applications" and found that "PRISMS-Plasticity" is working on similar 
lines (Crystal Plasticity FEM).
The nature of the problem is : Multi-scale simulations using Crystal 
Plasticity FEM. 

Over the years we have developed the UMAT subroutine that describes our 
material models. So, instead of implementing them from scratch in dealii we 
would like to have an interface that communicates between the UMAT and 
dealii.  So, my question is: Has anyone tried to link the UMAT subroutines 
with dealii ? i.e., The UMAT (fortran 90) has to be called at each 
integration point. If not, How do I go about linking the fortran code with 
dealii ?

Thank you!
Mahesh Prasad.
