With growing capabilities of computers use of multi-scale methods for detailed analysis of response with respect to material and geometric nonlinearities is becoming more relevant. In this paper focus is on MIEL (mesh-in-element) multi-scale method and its implementation with AceGen and AceFEM based on analytical sensitivity analysis. Such implementation enables efficient multi-scale modelling, consistency and quadratic convergence also for two-level path following methods for the solution of path dependent problems.
