Hysteretic material

[caosasa]

Dear all,
I have two qustions about the Hysteretic material,
1. Is it possible to define more than three points for this material, i.e. 5 or 6 points?
2. If the answer of question 1 is NO. I am thinking about defining more points with the Parallel material. Such as:

set matTag2 2;

Will it work?
Thanks.

It will work in defining the points but pinching and damage will be messed up. If you do not care about pinching we also have multi-linear material where you can define as many points as you need.

Dear Vesna,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I checked the multi-linear material.
It is what i wanted.
I really appreciated your help.
