Hello there,
I was in the same situations for few months until few days ago I came across with the following website.
There is a lot of material, lot of plotted stress-strain diagram and the best of it you can download its data for free too! :)

Hi MRute,
The Riks would be a good method for you, just like the dynamic.
With the Riks be carefull, because it will not perform very good at Load Control method unless you are using imperfection.
The other good stuff for Riks is a Displacement Control method; of course you can use imperfection...
Hi O,
You can apply gravity in the Load Module.
-->Load,Create,(go down in the menu) Gravity is about in the middle, and put -9810 [mm/sec] into y direction-box, if your gravity is in that way. Click OK, and you applied the G to your whole assembly.
Regards,
Mark
