*PLASTIC AXIAL
16.13 *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

*FRAME SECTION
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.
