Modeling a high density foam

I want to model a high density foam in my assembly. I have stress stain curve for the foam

I tries MATX70 material for the foam and NLSTAT analysis but it gives me  an error for the material (foam)

I also tries MATHE for the material of the foam and NLSTAT it gave the same error. I appreciate if some one can help me and take a look at my model. I found it very difficult to model foam material I don't know what material data rather than stress strain curve, density and elastic modulus is required to model the foam.

Would you please put a drop box link here so I can send you my model

    Hi Bita,

     

    MATX70 works with NLGEOM analysis. Please switch to NLGEOM and try again.
