Assigning Modulus

Assigning Modulus

Assigning Modulus

(OP)
Hi,
I have a model of a structure which should have a Young's Modulus that is different when in tension than in compression.  In essence, I have to assign 2 modulus values to the same model elements, and which modulus used depends on whether the model is experiencing compression or tension.  Could anyone offer any suggestions as to how one commonly approaches this situation?
Thank you,
Gill
