Hi,
How to define the TABLES1 entry for elasto-plastic analysis of a steel component?
If possible can anybody please provide me with the x and y co-ordinate values for the same?

Thanks

Bharat
 
Dear Bharat,
This is an automated job done by the pre-processor, you need to know in advanced the values stress-strain points, then simply define a function and use it in the nonlinear behaviour of material, for instance here you are the nastran output I got using FEMAP & NX NASTRAN (SOL106) basic nonlinear analysis:

INIT MASTER(S)
NASTRAN SYSTEM(442)=-1, SYSTEM(319)=1
ID Femap,Femap
SOL NLSTATIC
TIME 10000
CEND
TITLE = NX Nastran NL Static Analysis Set
ECHO = NONE
DISPLACEMENT(PLOT) = ALL
SPCFORCE(PLOT) = ALL
FORCE(PLOT,CORNER) = ALL
NLSTRESS(PLOT) = ALL
STRESS(PLOT,CORNER) = ALL
