*PLASTIC M2
16.15 *PLASTIC M2: Define the second plastic bending moment behavior for frame
elements.
This option can be used only in conjunction with the *FRAME SECTION op tion and is available only for
FRAME3D elements. It de scribes the bending moment in a frame element as a funct ion of the plastic rotation
about the second cross-section direction.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard

Data lines to define the variation of yield moment M2
0with plastic rotation:
First line:
1. Bendingyield moment about the second cross-section direction.
2. Plastic rotation about the second cross-section direction.
Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the relationship between the bending moment and
the plastic rotation about the second cross-section axis. At least three pairs of data are required.
