Specifying the annealing temperature of an elastic-plastic material

Create a material model as described in one of the following sections

Using an isotropic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”
Using a linear kinematic cyclic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”
Using a nonlinear isotropic/kinematic cyclic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”
Using the Johnson-Cook hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”

From the Suboptions menu in the Edit Material dialog box, select Anneal Temperature.

A Suboption Editor appears.

Click the arrows to the right of the Number of field variables field to increase or decrease the number of field variables on which the anneal temperature depends.

Enter the following data in the Data table:

Anneal Temperature: Value of the annealing temperature, $Θ$ .
Field n: Predefined field variables.

For detailed information on how to enter data, see Entering tabular data.
