I had created a custom materal (saved into Favourites Library) called "Polycarbonate - nonlinear elastic" by typing these strain-strain value pairs in both the tensile quadrant and compressive quadrant (see attachment):
Strain Stress (Mpa)
0.0 0.0
0.01 22.75
0.02 37.0
0.03 49.0
0.04 56.0
0.05 60.0
0.06 61.5
0.07 62.01
The Nonlinear Static Stress study ran successfully with "Polycarbonate - nonlinear elastic" and produced results I expected.
But Event Simulation study would not run with that "Polycarbonate - nonlinear elastic" material. Please have Event Simulation run with "Polycarbonate - nonlinear elastic" material, and other materials that do not have a linear stress-strain relationship between zero and Yield Strength.
There are many studies requiring contacts (of Event Simulation) of nonlinear elastic materials.
Thank you.
