Use the Material Stress-Strain Plot form to display the material stress-strain curve plot as defined using the options on the Nonlinear Material Data form.
Material Name display box. The material definition to which the stress-strain curve applies appears in this display box.
Material Type display box. The material type to which the stress-strain curve applies appears in this display box.
The large display area shows the stress-strain plot. When the cursor is moved over the plot, values for that specific location will display in the lower left-hand corner of the display area.
Mander Concrete Model
Frame Section Property drop-down list. This drop-down list is visible only for Mander Concrete stress-strain curves (Mander was selected from the Stress-Strain Curve Definition Options drop-down list on the Nonlinear Material Data form) . Select a concrete frame section property from the drop-down lis to update the plot and review how the section property affects the stress-strain curve plot. This data is for display purposes in the forms only; the data specified has no effect on the model.
Access the Material Stress-Strain Plot form as follows:
Click the Define menu > Material Properties command to display the Define Materials form.
Then do one of the following to access the Material Property Data form:
Click the Add New Material button to access the Add New Material Property form; specify a new property definition.
Highlight an existing definition and click the Add Copy of Material or Modify/Show Material button.
Click the Nonlinear Material Data button to display the Nonlinear Material Data form.
Choose the Show Stress-Strain Plot or Show Plot option, depending on if the stress-strain curve is parametrically defined or user defined.
