Hi all,

I have a nonlinear material which I have stress-strain relation of it. I can input material properties using Multilinear Elastic for positive strains(tension) but this feature doesn't accept negative strains(material in compression). Do you know how I can input materials compression props in ANSYS?

Thanks
