Hi,

Does anyone know why Structural Mechanics, linear elastic material model which is there as a defaults cannot deleted or disabled when nonlinear material such as hyperelastic material is selected?
Apparently, it does not make any problem when nothing is assigned to it and it is overridden.

Thanks,
JW

That's how all default physics settings are designed to work: you don't delete them, you just override them.
