I want to model a elastic-perfectly plastic Euler-Bernoulli beam in Abaqus to check the spring back effect. The material model is elastic perfectly plastic. I am applying concentrated moments at specified locations. what should be the process?

You can talk you know, its free to explain by words.

I have dealed with two loads types one is concentrated on column and the other is cyclic on beam and I want to ask how represent them shall I define them for two deferent steps and if i do that what the time shall be given to the column gravity load or combine the two load types in on step?

Sir I'm doing CFST column steel beam joint connected with bolted connection subjected to cyclic loading at beam end After running I'm not getting strength degradation portion in the result In property module, I have given elastic and plastic property with combined hardening Still I'm not getting strain softening region Please help.
