Can I use beam module in structural mechanics to analyze plastic problems in a beam?

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hellow,

Can I use beam module in structural mechanics to analyze plastic problems in a beam? I have tried to use the variable Young's modulus to simulate nolinear stretch, but I don't know how to simulate the plastic bending?

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Wuji
