Elasticity: Define spring-like elastic behavior.
Damping: Define dashpot-like damping behavior.
Friction: Define Coulomb-like and hysteretic friction using predefined or user-defined friction models.
Plasticity: Define plastic behavior.
Damage: Define damage initiation and evolution behavior.
Stop: Define limit values of the admissible range of positions.
Lock: Specify a user-defined locking criterion.
Failure: Define limit values for force, moment, or position.
Reference Length: Define the translational or angular positions at which constitutive forces and moments are zero.
Integration: Specify implicit or explicit time integration for elasticity, damping, and friction (Abaqus/Explicit analyses only).
