Specifying volumetric test data for a hyperelastic foam material model

Use the Test Data Editor to specify volumetric test data from which Abaqus can calibrate hyperfoam material coefficients. For more information, see Hyperelastic behavior of rubberlike materials.

  1. Create a hyperelastic foam material model as described in Providing test data to define a hyperelastic foam material model.”

  2. From the Test Data menu in the Edit Material dialog box, select Volumetric Test Data.

    A Test Data Editor appears.

  3. In the Data table, enter the test data:

    Pressure

    Pressure, p.

    Volume Ratio

    Volume ratio (current volume/original volume), J.

    You may need to expand the dialog box to see all the columns in the Data table. For detailed information on how to enter data, see Entering tabular data.

  4. Click OK to return to the Edit Material dialog box.
