Nonlinear Material Behavior | Isotropic | Plastic (Members, Surfaces/Solids)

Did you know? When unloading the structural component with a plastic material model, in contrast to the Isotropic | Nonlinear Elastic material model, the strain remains after it has been completely unloaded.

You can select three different definition types:

  • Standard (definition of the equivalent stress under which the material plastifies)
  • Bilinear (definition of the equivalent stress and strain hardening modulus)
  • Stress-strain diagram: definition of polygonal stress-strain diagram
  • Option to save / import the diagram
  • Interface with MS Excel
