Thank you for your help.
Actually, I want to know how to select this "Lambda" parameter. What is the reason that you select 0.1 in your analysis? why not 0.15 or 0.2 or....???

I hope I will get answer of my query.

Thank You

it depends on how you want to model the unloading.
i selected 0.1 because it gives me results similar to the concrete behavior i want.
