Hi
Is it possible to calculate volume of elements which are plasticized?
In my model plastic zone are garadually increased until run is completed. I want create curve variation of vloume of platic zone in respect of time.
Is it possible?

RE: Volume of element

You can use python to do that. The variable PEEQ tells you where you have plasticity and the variable IVOL the volume related to the integration point.
