Hysteretic material

[nparsaeifard]

Dear all
I have modeled a steel building in which all members are modeled using fiber elements.
I also need to use hysteretic material ( to consider the deterioration in structural components due to cyclic loading)
How can I define the parameters defined in "Hysteretic Material"?
Looking forward to your guidance.
Thank you
