Referring to the Thread (above) i want to ask about examples from verification manual VMMECH029

For 30000 lbf-in ansys returns exact solution, but for bigger moment it cannot converge. In the previous Thread it was recommended to set:

Element Control in Geometry - Manual
Brick Integration Scheme in Solid - Full

However, I cannot find it in the Workbench 15. Is it possible to obtain (nearly) plastic hinge for elastic perfectly-plastic model like in VMMECH029?
