Change materials during analysis

[alnagme]

Hi everyone,

Is it possible in OpenSees to change a certain material for another while running an analysis? How?

For example, if I have "Steel02" for the reinforcement behavior and, because of bending at a certain load level, a bar it's supposed to have already buckled, can I change the material for another one, let's say "buckledSteel", in the middle of the analysis and use it from then on?
