I was trying to do a NLSTAT problem with foams (Primarily Pretension of bolts and then shrink of Foams ). 

But could not find any option to create materials with Hyperfoam capability like in Abaqus. 

Is that option available in OptiStruct for NLSTAT analysis ?

    Currently this is not supported.With OptiSruct version 2019.1, we added support for Viscoelastic material & creep material. We will let you know once this feature is available.
