<p>This article explores the structural identifiability of parameters within non-linear physical models, focussing specifically on the Anand material model. The proposed procedure is structured in two key steps: first, a local analysis identifies the most suitable parameters for testing. Subsequently, these selected parameters, along with their admissible value intervals, are evaluated for global structural dependence. Our innovative numerical approach systematically reduces the parameter count by substituting selected parameters with frozen values (constants). The study employs simulations of the finite element method of a simplified tensile test, utilising the Anand material model. The independent parameters identified through this method are then validated against a tensile test dataset. The validation results indicate a high probability that the use of a reduced parameter set yields unique values for the Anand model parameters in the tensile tests, underscoring the efficacy of our approach.</p>
