Takeda material

[ssami]

Hi everyone, What values have to be considered for the parameters the Hysteretic material to convert it into the Takeda material? I mean for the parameters pinchx, pinchy, damage1, damage2 and beta, such that the Takeda material is obtained.

Thanks

Is there anybody who can help me in this regard?

Try pinchY as 0 or 1 ... one of those should give you the Takeda model.
