Creep object

The Creep object defines a creep law.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].creep()

Creep(...)

This method creates a Creep object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].Creep

Prototype

odb_Creep&
Creep(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
      const odb_String& law,
      bool temperatureDependency,
      int dependencies);

Required arguments

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

law

An odb_String specifying the strain-hardening law. Possible values are "STRAIN", "TIME", "HYPERBOLIC_SINE", and "USER". The default value is "STRAIN".

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.

dependencies

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

Table data

If law=STRAIN or law=TIME, the table data specify the following:

  • A.

  • n.

  • m.

  • 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 law=HYPERBOLIC_SINE, the table data specify the following:

  • A.

  • B.

  • n.

  • H, if the data depend on temperature.

  • R.

  • Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

  • Value of the second field variable.

  • Etc.

Return value

A Creep object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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

In addition, the Creep object can have the following members:

Prototype

odb_Ornl ornl() const;
odb_Potential potential() const;
ornl

An Ornl object.

potential

A Potential object.
