FailStress object

The FailStress object defines parameters for stress-based failure measures.

This page discusses:

Access

import material
mdb.models[name].materials[name].elastic.failStress
import odbMaterial
session.odbs[name].materials[name].elastic.failStress

FailStress(...)

This method creates a FailStress object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].elastic.FailStress
session.odbs[name].materials[name].elastic.FailStress

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

  • Tensile stress limit in fiber direction, Xt.

  • Compressive stress limit in fiber direction, Xc.

  • Tensile stress limit in transverse direction, Yt.

  • Compressive stress limit in transverse direction, Yc.

  • Shear strength in the X–Y plane, S.

  • Cross product term coefficient, f* (-1.0≤f*≤1.0). The default value is zero.

  • Biaxial stress limit, σb⁢i⁢a⁢x.

  • 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 FailStress object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the FailStress object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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