Materials
You can use linear elastic isotropic and bilinear von Mises plasticity
material models. Unlike materials with linear elastic formulation, von
Mises plastic materials can incur permanent deformation due to the impact.
You can specify to use the small or large displacement formulation in
the properties of the study. The default is to use large displacement
formulation (nonlinear solution) for all studies. If all the materials
are linear elastic, you can specify small displacement. The large displacement
formulation is always used if you have any von Mises plastic materials
in the model.
