Concrete(...)

This method creates a Concrete object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].Concrete
session.odbs[name].materials[name].Concrete

Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

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.

Table data

  • Absolute value of compressive stress.

  • Absolute value of plastic strain.

  • 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 Concrete object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the Concrete object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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

In addition, the Concrete object can have the following members:

failureRatios

A FailureRatios object.

shearRetention

A ShearRetention object.

tensionStiffening

A TensionStiffening object.
