No compression and no tension elasticity models in Abaqus/Explicit

The no compression and no tension models for linear elasticity are now available in Abaqus/Explicit.

This functionality is first available in the Abaqus 2022 FD01 (FP.2205) release.

Products Abaqus/Explicit

The no compression and no tension models are intended to model linear elastic structures where compressive or tensile principal stresses should not be generated. Examples include cables and membrane structures with no compression stiffness. You can now use these models in Abaqus/Explicit. Previously, they were available only in Abaqus/Standard.
