Set Variables
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.
Set Variables
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.
From the Plastic axial strain list, select Do not set or User defined. The default User defined values is zero.
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.
