Stop analysis at first yielding

Stop analysis at first yielding

Stop analysis at first yielding

(OP)
Hello,
Dear Abaqus users, my qestion is connected to a plasticity problem.

In my analysis I use C3D8R elements. I want to perform only elastic analysis.
Let's say that my analysis material is steel(E=210 GPa, fy=275 MPa, fu=315 MPa).
I want to stop the analysis when the first yielding occour in my model.
How can I perform this?
How can I check if the yielding occur?
Is checking only the Mises stresses a good way?

I have tried to use "stop when region ____ is fully plastic" option in step options, but I can't find(even in abaqus help) what kind of data should I input in EditBox in this property.

Thank you.
