Reply To: Bone Plastic Behaviour

[Muhammad Hamza Arshad Khan]

Hi ashish, thanks for your reply .

I managed to get a plastic strain after using the plastic model in command script. However it doesnot define the plastic model to all elements. My geometry has different values of elastic modulus for different elements so they have different material IDs .But when I define the plastic model it only shows surface elements of the bone selected.

As it can be seen that the plasticity is not defined for the whole body, it is only defined over some surface elements. How can i define plasticity over the whole body or some specific elements.

This is how I defined the elastic properties in my command script

Can i define the plastic properties like this with an apdl command?
