Note. mxpres: the maximum hydrostatic pressure should be taken as a positive value, representing pressure. The option is used for controlling the compression failure. mnpres: contrary to mxpres, it is used for controlling tensile failure, generally taking negative value. mxeps: the extreme value of principal strain is used for controlling compression failure, generally taking positive value. mneps: contrary to mxeps, it should be taken as a negative value. This option is used for controlling tensile failure.
