GasketTransverseShearElastic(...)

This method creates a GasketTransverseShearElastic object.

Path

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

Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

variableUnits

A SymbolicConstant specifying the unit system in which the transverse shear behavior will be defined. Possible values are STRESS and FORCE. The default value is STRESS.

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

  • Shear stiffness. (This value cannot be negative.)

  • 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 GasketTransverseShearElastic object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the GasketTransverseShearElastic object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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