We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

No problem at all.
Yes, for the Barlat model you can input C and P which are the coefficients of Cowper-Symond's equation to scale the reference hardening (stress-strain) curve at different strain rates. It is sometimes easier to directly input the stress-strain curves (from physical experiments, for example), but if you have the C and P coefficients available, you can use the Cowper-Symond's method as well.
