The unloading stiffness continues to be used in compressive loading until the loading force in compression matches the maximum loading force in tension. From this point, any additional compressive loading uses the input loading function.

When the spring is loaded in tension and then unloads, it follows the defined unloading curve. The unloading curve continues to be used in compressive loading until the loading force in compression matches the maximum loading force in tension. From this point, additional compressive loading uses the input loading function.

Inconsistent Stiffness

When creating a spring property with a user-defined curve "Force vs Displacement" for the stiffness, typically the end of the curve has a very high slope to deal with very high compression. In this case, the following warning is often received with Radioss Starter.
WARNING ID: 506 
** WARNING IN SPRING PROPERTY
** WARNING IN SPRING PROPERTY SET ID=XXX
STIFFNESS VALUE 100 IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE MAXIMUM SLOPE (4550)
OF THE YIELD FUNCTION ID=X
THE STIFFNESS VALUE IS CHANGED TO 1000
This warning comes from the fact that the slope of the input curve (the stiffness) is not consistent with the initial stiffness. If the maximum slope of the curve (the maximum stiffness) is greater than the initial stiffness, unloading in the zone of maximum slope will be false (Figure 1). To obtain proper behavior, Radioss Starter modifies the initial stiffness according to the maximum slope.
