Modelling a Shape Memory Alloy

Hello,
I am a Masters Student in the University of Manchester. Please I will need to
model a Nitinol spring in ABAQUS and I am stuck.I have been searching on the web
and I have been seeing some stuff like UMAT or VMAT.I honestly dont know what to
do as the deadline for the submission of my dissertation is fast approaching. I
will need assistance in what to do in ABAQUS as I have already created in model
and imported it to ABAQUS.

Awaiting your favourable responses.

Akin Owoyele.
