Hi Jorgen,

I wonder if there is a way to apply inequality constraints to material model's parameters in MCalibration during data fitting. For example, considering the Mooney-Rivin model, the Drucker stability condition requires that 

C10 + C01 > 0.

I looked up the forum and only found this page for applying Parameter Connections (equality constraints). 

Thanks!

I guess the way to apply the inequality constraints, such as C10 + C01 > 0, is

put '-C10' in the lower bound for parameter 'C01'???

There are 2 ways to do that. The first is to use an equation-based constrains on the parameters. In this case I used a "penalty" value of 10 and the step-function to impose the inequality constraint. This approach is similar to a Lagrange multiplier.

Another approach is to set a fitness weight for the Drucker stability. That can be specified for each load case.
