DEFINITION
TRGVOL enables volume compensation during plastic deformation analysis. For 2D, it can be activated for plain strain, axi-symmetry, or torsion geometry but it cannot be used for plane stress geometry.
REMARKS
If time increment is large or element size is not small enough to describe the geometry, element loses (or gains for rotational dominated process) volume after the geometry is updated at the end of step. Applicable object types: Plastic, Elastoplastic, Porous
