Use the Set Variables subnode to
Plasticity of a
Linear Elastic Material to reset plasticity variables according to a
Setting condition that you define. When the
Setting condition is satisfied, the plasticity variables are reset to the specified values.
Enter the Setting condition. This is a Boolean expression that will determine when the plastic variables are reset.
From the Equivalent plastic strain list, select
Do not set or
User defined. The default
User defined value is zero. Depending on the type of plasticity model, set additional plasticity variables.
If Armstrong-Frederick or
Chaboche is selected from the
Kinematic Hardening Model list, specify the values for the
Back strain. From the
Back strain list, select
Do not set or
User defined. The default
User defined values is zero.
