Defining plasticity

You use the Edit Material dialog box to create a plastic material and to specify its material properties.

You can create the following plastic material models:

• Classical metal plasticity

• Cap plasticity

• Cast iron plasticity

• Clay plasticity

• Concrete damaged plasticity

• Concrete smeared cracking

• Crushable foam plasticity

• Drucker-Prager plasticity

• Mohr-Coulomb plasticity

• Porous metal plasticity

• Creep

• Swelling

• Viscous

For more information, see Inelastic Behavior.
