*PLASTIC AXIAL
Define plastic axial force for frame elements.

This option can be used only in conjunction with the *FRAME SECTION option. It describes the axial force in a frame element as a function of the axial plastic displacement.

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Type: Model data

Level: Part,  Part instance  

References:
There are no parameters associated with this option.

Data lines to define the variation of axial yield force with plastic displacement: 

First line:

  1. Axial yield force.

  2. Plastic axial displacement.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the relationship between the axial force and the axial plastic displacement. At least three pairs of data are required.
