Hi! I want to do a structural analisys for a plastic structure (a printer case) in order to fint out the critical loads before breacking. I know that the plastic is a material wich acts in a elastic domain of displacements before shearing, and I don`t know how to define such material. I consider doing a plate modelated structure. Thank you!
