I see that plasticity is not accessible from poroelasticity.
Alternatively, could you not start with a nonlinear structural mechanics module and modify the equation in linear elasticity to reflect pore water pressure changes so that you can then use plasticity. In other words, you will have to add the term alpha*p*I into the term solid.S11, solid.S22, and solid.S33, where alpha is the Biot coefficient. I is the identity so you add it to diagonal elements only as above. Or probably you could introduce this term in the body load?
Test it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.
I understand your meaning. But I still have a problem why plasticity can not be considered in poroelasticity module. In my point of view, the poroelasticity module is the combination of solid mechanics and Darcy's law. I think plasticity can be used in solid mechnics, why it can not be used in the combined module? Thanks.

I understand your point, but you need to ask the support team.

What i think is that we can add plasticity in poroelasticity physics by adding the Linera elastic node first and under that we can add plasticity and other related. which is similar like in solid mechanics.
