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
