Problem with ElastiMultiLinear material model

Post by sugandha »

Hi,

I am using ElasticMultiLinear model to define a model which is elastic and has a gap of 1mm. when i check results and find stiffness, I don't get correct stiffness(k=31585000). Following is my code, please let me know how can I change this. Thank you.
