Hi,

 

i am defining a non-linear material property in optistruct as below

$HWCOLOR LOADCOL*                     10       3
TABLES1*              10
*       
*                    0.0             0.0          0.0005           100.0
*                 0.0010           200.0          0.0014           300.0
*                 0.0019           400.0          0.0024           500.0
*                 0.0029           600.0          0.0030           620.0
*                 0.0031           648.0           0.004           672.0
*                  0.013           696.0            0.03           720.0
*                  0.058           744.0             0.1           768.0
*                  0.158           792.0           0.235           816.0
*                   ENDT

i am getting an error ' 
 *** ERROR # 3021 ***
 The plastic material data specified on the TABLES1 bulk data entry ID=10
 is invalid. The slope after the initial yield point is not less than the
 Young's modulus. (  2.000000e+05 >=  2.000000e+05 ) at the segment 2.
  
 *** Run terminated because of error(s) in the input data.
  

 

but i checked the slope of the curve. it correct. what could be the issue?

    Hello,

     

    If your elastic modulus is 2e5, the error message is correct.

    Since for the first plastic slope 100/0.0005 = 2e5, exact same slope and this is not allowed.

     

    The strain in the table starts at plastification, means 0,0 is end of elastic range.

     

    Best Regards,

    Mario
