We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Thank you for the reply! 

For the 66 °C data, you have only listed a value of true stress of 1e-6 for a plastic strain of 0. Does this mean that ANSYS will continue to use a true stress value of 1e-6 for larger plastic strain values at 66 °C?

Could you explain how this corresponds to resetting both stress and plastic strain?

How does this ensure a plastic strain of 0? It seems like the plastic strain could still be a larger number at 66 °C, and doing what you suggested will just ensure that the stress remains low at 1e-6.
