As of SAP2000 V14.0.0:
The nonlinear material properties assigned to solid objects are ignored during nonlinear analysis.
The material nonlinearity and cracking of a solid object may be modeled using nonlinear links. Links should be positioned between adjacent solid objects, and assigned nonlinear material relationships, such that their behavior reflects the kinematic and constitutive nonlinearity of the actual system. This approach is similar to that of a specialized

, though modeling and analysis iterations would be done manually with the general finite-element capabilities of SAP2000.
