Defining Tensile/Compression Strength for Plastics in ABAQUS
Hi.
This is a simple question about defining material properties of a plastic I guess.
I have a value for tensile & compression strength and have to include this in my model, alongside the modulus & poisson ratio. I use *Elastic for modulus & poisson, but I don't know which card to use for tensile & compression.
Have already checked the manual, but the search 'tensile compression strength' leads me to the Hashin criteria page, which is not suitable for my material.
Can anyone help?
