Dear All,
I am trying to build a cyclic hardening model in abaqus. The loading is a stress sinusoidal function Stress=Asin(wt). Which one of the following is the correct 'Step' set up?
(1) Creat Step>General>Static,General,
(2) Creat Step>General>Direct cyclic,
(3) Creat Step> Linear perturbation>Freqency.
It would be great if you can also explain the difference among them.
Thank you.
