FailStrain object

The FailStrain object defines parameters for strain-based failure measures.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

import material
mdb.models[name].materials[name].elastic.failStrain
import odbMaterial
session.odbs[name].materials[name].elastic.failStrain

FailStrain(...)

This method creates a FailStrain object.

Path

mdb.models[name].materials[name].elastic.FailStrain
session.odbs[name].materials[name].elastic.FailStrain

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

  • Tensile strain limit in fiber direction, Xεt.

  • Compressive strain limit in fiber direction, Xεc.

  • Tensile strain limit in transverse direction, Yεt.

  • Compressive strain limit in transverse direction, Yεc.

  • Shear strain limit in the X–Y plane, Sε.

  • 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 FailStrain object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

setValues(...)

This method modifies the FailStrain object.

Required arguments

None.

Optional arguments

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

Return value

None.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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