You use the Edit Material dialog box to create a plastic material and to specify its material properties.
You can create the following plastic material models:
Classical metal plasticity
Cap plasticity
Cast iron plasticity
Clay plasticity
Concrete damaged plasticity
Concrete smeared cracking
Crushable foam plasticity
Drucker-Prager plasticity
Mohr-Coulomb plasticity
Porous metal plasticity
Creep
Swelling
Viscous
For more information, see Inelastic behavior.
