Hi!

Is it possible to output only the plastic portion of the principal strains in Autodesk Nastran?

If I've understood correctly these results are relevant when checking Local Failure Criteria acc. BPVC 2/3

My workaround so far has been to subtract the proportional limit strain from the principal strains, however i'm not sure if this would be valid if I have load reversals? Thoughts?

Thank you!

Regards
Siggi
