This section describes how to import material data into Abaqus, filter and process the data, and use the data to specify Abaqus material behaviors such as elasticity and plasticity. The following topics are covered:

• “What is material calibration?,” Section 12.16.1

• “Creating and editing data sets for calibration,” Section 12.16.2

• “Processing calibration data,” Section 12.16.3

• “Defining calibration behaviors,” Section 12.16.4
