MeanFieldHomogenization(...)

This method creates a MeanFieldHomogenization object.

Path

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

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

angleSubdivision

An Int specifying the number of angle increments used for the discretization of the orientation space.

formulation

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of homogenization model. Possible values are MT, REUSS, VOIGT, INVERSED_MT, BALANCED, and UNSPECIFIED. The default value is MT.

isotropization

A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of isotropization method. Possible values are ALLISO, EISO, and PISO. The default value is ALLISO.

uniformMatrixStrain

A SymbolicConstant specifying whether the average strain in the matrix is uniform across all pseudo-grains. Possible values are NO and YES. The default value is NO.

Return value

A MeanFieldHomogenization object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the MeanFieldHomogenization object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the MeanFieldHomogenization(...) method.

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The MeanFieldHomogenization object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the MeanFieldHomogenization(...) method.
