Nonlinear Material
in Your Analysis
This guide is made for non-experienced FEA users. It provides
basic knowledge needed to start analyzing plasticity in materials.
Experienced FEA analysts can also use this guide to get used to
the NFX workflow.

Relationships between
true stresses - strains and
engineering ones are
described using the
following formulas. These
equations are valid up to
necking.
