Hi Biil, 

I am bit confused in implementing the cyclic load. Instead of ramping pressure up and down at each step, I want to used cyclic load with ratcheting phenomena, for example, 100 cycles of stress ratio -1 with frequency of 2. I had a look at Chaboche plasticity model, I will be alright to simulate it but I am not sure to implement the cyclic load.
