Calculate Dissipated Energy

Hello all,
I am working on a model where a structure made of a shape memory alloy(Nitinol) is being subjected to tensile loading. I am able to generate the appropriate hysteris loop using a stationary study with the solid mechanics physics. I wanted to find the energy that was dissipated during this process. The comsol documentation says that there is a "Calculate Energy Dissipation" node in the material models section but I have been unable to find it. Any ideas on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Vedant

Dear Vedant and Tayfur,
The Calculate dissipated energy setting is available in the Energy Dissipation section of the main material model (Linear Elastic, Hyperelastic, Shape Memory Alloy, etc.). In order to see this section, you first need to include Advanced Physics Options in the Show More Options dialog, which you find at the top of the Model Builder window.
