I have attached the material property (stress-strain curve)

I am not quite sure which material card (for Radioss solver) I have to use. Can anyone help me?

    There are many material laws card in which you can insert stress strain curve. Based on your material type, application or behaviour you can select the type of material.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The specific material type is thermoplastic elastomer. I've been doing an analysis for bellows-shaped spring with self cotanct.

    I want to evaluate the load-deflection characteristic of the spring.
