I'm modeling (using LS-DYNA) a corrugated plate as a (smooth) plate but with orthotropic properties (for simplification purposes). Now I want to add plasticity to my model and I was suggested to use the material card *MAT_ANISOTROPIC_VISCOPLASTIC.
The problem is that I'm not sure what does "viscoplastic" exactly means?
Does anyone has used it before?
Other modeling approach suggestions?
Thanks,
