Product: ABAQUS/Explicit
Benefits: Orthotropic elastic-plasticity facilitates the modeling of orthotropic materials for which the effects of orthotropy are important in both the elastic and the plastic response.
Description: ABAQUS/Explicit now supports the combination of orthotropic elasticity with Hill plasticity to model anisotropy in both the elastic and plastic response. The case of Mises (isotropic) plasticity can be obtained by setting the yield ratios of the Hill's potential to one.
