Plastic Analysis in a MBD
Altair EmployeeHi,
I would like to know if there is a possibility to perform a Plastic Analysis for a control arm in my suspension system. I would like to visualize stress and the average extension of the flexible body

You need to make the control arm as flex body. You can view these tutorial on how to make a body flexible and use the same in MotionView/MotioSolve

i've already did this step for the elastic analysis, so it's familiar to me... An another question: for the results the average extension of the flexible body is available or not ?

I am sorry, I did not understand your question. Can you please elaborate?
Right now there is no way you can do a elastic-plastic flexbody simulation using MotionSolve.

That's exactly what i want to do is a plastic simulation using MotionSolve. there is no alternative way for this simulation ?

MV/MS has new NLFE feature to simulate Nonlinear FE analysis through MotionSolve, but right now cable and beams can be modeled with this.
I will check if there is a better way to do this using MV/MS.
