multilinear material

Post by endryus »

I need a uniaxial multilinear material. That means that I should be able to build the uniaxial curve by entering the stress/strain values of at least 5 point for each tension/compression direction.
How could I do this?

put two or three hysteretic, or steel02 materials in parallel.
be careful because the hysteresis curves get funky, though.
