tensileFailure(...)

This method creates a tensileFailure object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].plastic.TensileFailure
mdb.models[name].materials[name].eos.TensileFailure
session.odbs[name].materials[name].plastic.TensileFailure
session.odbs[name].materials[name].eos.TensileFailure

Required arguments

table

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

Optional arguments

dependencies

An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

temperatureDependency

A boolean specifying whether the data depends on temperature. The default value is OFF.

elementDeletion

A boolean specifying whether element deletion is allowed. The default value is True.

pressure

A SymbolicConstant specifying the pressure stress. The Possible values are BRITTLE and DUCTILE.

shear

A SymbolicConstant specifying the deviatoric stress. Possible values are BRITTLE and DUCTILE.

Table data

  • The Hydrostatic cutoff stress (positive in tension).

  • 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

An TensileFailure object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the TensileFailure object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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