Could you tell me the ratio of Kinematic Hardening and Isotropic Hardening if I select Combined Hardening in Materials Properties?
And if it is possible to set the ratio of Kinematic Hardening, how can I do it?

I assume this question is for MSC Nastran solution 106. I have dug around a bit, and so far the only place I find some details are in the old Nonlinear Handbook. I will attach a screen shot of the pertinent page. It implies Combined is an average of Isotropic and Kinematic. I will try to find a developer to confirm and will update you once I hear back.
But, there is definitely no way to define the ratio used in Nastran (this can be done in Marc).
The response I got from development was they think it is 50-50 and there is no way for the user to change this... this was implemented a long time ago... if you need me to be 100% certain of the ratio, let me know, otherwise I'll consider this response good enough!
