Cumulative Plastic Ductility

[gfermandois]

Hi, I want to know if there is a way to calculate the cumulative plastic ductility of an element with Steel02 material for a cyclic uniaxial test. I'm asking this because I don't know if its correct to consider in the whole test a yield deformation equal to Py/K (Py: yield strength, K: stiffness) to calculate the accumulated plastic deformation of the element. Any help on the procedure I must follow will be vere appreciated. Thanks!

you have to do it in post-processing.
