Dear Sir ,
I am using linear elastic material model under solid mechanics.In most cases the calculations are in linear range but I am unsure if my all are in linear range. How can i include non linearity just in case the calculations enter non linear domain ?
Thanking you in advance,
Vijay

Witin the solver, you can include the nonlinearity as following:
Study => step (e.g. Frequency Domain)=> Include geometric nonlinearity (just a tick)

Hope it works

In Stationary and Transient Dynamic analyses you can add geometric nonlinearity to an elastic material through the Study node. There’s a check box under the “Step” sub-node. This is not always sufficient though since just adding geometric nonlinearity may not be enough. The material may experience large strains that deviate from the linearity of Hooke’s law. In that you should also replace the elastic material with a more accurate model such as hyperelastic or elastic-plastic.
