Hi everyone.

I am coding a USDM in plx considering a linear softening.

I need to activate the non local strain available in dEps (13:20) variable. (Brinkgreve 1994)

I tried with the opt-file data.opt.rsa with the following containt:

$$NonLocal

1

$$NonLocalDL

1

$$End

and, despite that, the variable dEps (13:20) given by PLX is equal zero (no matter the internal length).

Does anyone used this non local strain? Did you have the same problem?

Thanks in advance
