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?
Thanks,
Gill

Hi,
i have never deal with such situation, but the TB command may be a solution for that.
Command description :
TB — Activates a data table for nonlinear material properties or special element input.

Is it a casting? I suppose Ansys in their 6.1 version have come out with a data table specially for castings.
Any comments guys.
cheers
