Hi everybody. I downloaded mecway (9.0 64 bit) and tried one tutorial. It seems to me that plasticity in shell elements is not allowed. Moreover it seems that this is a feature supported by calculix. Are there any plans to add plasticity on shells?
Yes, it can do that. You need to make these settings for plastic material options to be enabled: Analysis type: Nonlinear Static 3D or Nonlinear Dynamic Response 3D Solver: CCX
