- From the menu bar in the Edit Material dialog box, select .
(For information on displaying the Edit Material dialog box, see Creating or editing a material.) -
Click the arrow to the right of the Law field, and select
the creep law of your choice. See Viscous Behavior and Creep Behavior for the data required for each creep law.
-
To define behavior data that depend on temperature, toggle on Use
temperature-dependent data.
A column labeled Temp appears in the
Data table.
-
To define behavior data that depend on field variables, click the arrows to the
right of the Number of field variables field to increase or
decrease the number of field variables.
Field variable columns appear in the
Data table.
-
If desired, select Potential from the
Suboptions menu to define anisotropic viscosity. See
Defining anisotropic yield and creep for
details.
-
Click OK to create the material and to close the
Edit Material dialog box. Alternatively, you can select
another material behavior to define from the menus in the Edit
Material dialog box (see Browsing and modifying material behaviors for more information).
