GapFlow(...)
This method creates a GapFlow object.

mdb.models[name].materials[name].GapFlow session.odbs[name].materials[name].GapFlow
Required arguments
- table
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
- kmax
None or a Float specifying the maximum permeability value that should be used. If kmax=None, Abaqus assumes that the permeability is not bounded. This value is meaningful only when type=NEWTONIAN. The default value is None.
- 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.
- type
A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of gap flow. Possible values are NEWTONIAN, POWER_LAW, BINGHAM_PLASTIC, and HERSCHEL-BULKLEY. The default value is NEWTONIAN.
Table data
If type=NEWTONIAN the table data specify the following:
Pore viscosity.
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 type=POWER_LAW the table data specify the following:
Consistency.
Exponent.
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 type=BINGHAM_PLASTIC the table data specify the following:
-
Consistency.
-
Yield stress.
-
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 type=HERSCHEL-BULKLEY the table data specify the following:
-
Consistency.
-
Exponent.
-
Yield stress.
-
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 GapFlow object.
Exceptions
None.
