ShearRetention object

The ShearRetention object defines the reduction of the shear modulus associated with crack surfaces in a Concrete model as a function of the tensile strain across the crack.

ShearRetention(...)

This method creates a ShearRetention object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].concrete.ShearRetention
session.odbs[name].materials[name].concrete.ShearRetention

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

  • ϱclose for dry concrete. The default value is 1.0.

  • εmax for dry concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).

  • ϱclose for wet concrete. The default value is 1.0.

  • εmax for wet concrete. The default value is a very large number (full shear retention).

  • 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 ShearRetention object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the ShearRetention object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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