Plasticity
Use the Plasticity subnode to define the properties for modeling elastoplastic materials. This material model can be used together with the Linear Elastic Material and Hyperelastic Material.
The Nonlinear Structural Materials Module is required for this feature. For details, see https://www.comsol.com/products/specifications/.
Shell Properties
Select the layer or layers for which this plasticity model is to be used.
When Use all layers is not selected.
When the material data values differ in every layer, you can use a single Plasticity node where From material is used to define the values. The data for each layer is then received from global Layered Material nodes.
If there are two Plasticity nodes where the same layer is selected on the same boundary, the latter will be overridden on the common selections
All other settings for the Plasticity node are described in the documentation for Plasticity in the Solid Mechanics interface.
