    Hi naoki,

     

    You can use MATS1 card. 

     

     

    Thank you

    Thank you for early reply.

    If I check the MATS1,  what should I input TID, H,YF, Type=Plastic?

    Hi,

     

    Yes,  it is OK with MAT1,

     

    If you have stress-strain curve, use TABLD1 to input the curve value via TID,

     

    or if you have hardness values, use H, YF etc...
