Abaqus verification

Submitted by dooman_ak on

Hello everyone

I have a question about Abaqus verification for a Mooney-Rivlin
hyperelastic material example which exist in ABAQUS Documentation/Abaqus
Verification Manual/2.2.1 Elastic materials/VIII. Hyperelasticity with
Mooney-Rivlin strain energy function. In the example for a Test data
input-uni axial tension the company Defined a stress-strain curve as
input for material property(Nominal stress-Nominal strain). But when I
plot these parameters(Stress -nominal strain) as output of the software
the result shows a significant difference between Input data and out put
data,and I don't know why?!

Any comment about this will be highly appreciable

this is the input file which I'm discussing about:
