Reply To: Residual Stress — How Does ANSYS Calculate That?

Hi,

The multilinear isotropic hardening behavior can be described based on a piece-wise linear stress-plastic strain curve. To know more about how it is calculated, you may refer to the Ansys Help document here - Rate-Independent Plasticity

Hope this helps!
