CapCreepCohesion(...)

This method creates a CapCreepCohesion object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].capPlasticity.CapCreepCohesion
session.odbs[name].materials[name].capPlasticity.CapCreepCohesion

Required arguments

table

A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

law

A SymbolicConstant specifying the cap creep law. Possible values are STRAIN, TIME, SINGHM, USER, POWER_LAW, and TIME_POWER_LAW. The default value is STRAIN.

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

time

A SymbolicConstant specifying the time increment for the relevant laws. Possible values are CREEP and TOTAL. The default value is TOTAL.

Table data

If law=STRAIN or law=TIME, the table data specify the following:

  • A.

  • n.

  • m.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

If law=SINGHM, the table data specify the following:

  • A.

  • α.

  • m.

  • t1.

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

If law=POWER_LAW or law=TIME_POWER_LAW, the table data specify the following:

  • q o .

  • n .

  • m .

  • ε . o .

  • Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A CapCreepCohesion object.

Exceptions

None.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the CapCreepCohesion object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the CapCreepCohesion method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

None.

Members

The CapCreepCohesion object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the CapCreepCohesion method.
