LCF

Hi,

I am trying to do Low cycle fatigue analysis in abaqus, and
according to the Documentation, for bulk material damage initiation and damage
evolution definition, I can use the criteria (and type for Damage evolution) as
"Hysteresis Energy". And have to define 4 material variables C1 to
C4.

But in the abaqus material library (in abaqus-CAE) i could find
all the other criteria but not the "Hysteresis energy". I also tried
to define it in the *.inp file but abaqus could not read it (apparently wasn't
writing it correctly).
