Defining anisotropic yield and creep

Create a material model as described in one of the following sections

• Using an isotropic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”

• Using a linear kinematic cyclic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”

• Using a nonlinear isotropic/kinematic cyclic hardening model to define classical metal plasticity”

• Defining a creep law”

• Defining the viscous component of a two-layer viscoplasticity model”

• Defining clay plasticity”

From the Suboptions menu in the Edit Material dialog box, select Potential.

A Suboption Editor appears.

Toggle on Use temperature-dependent data to define data that depend on temperature.

A column labeled Temp appears in the Data table.

Click the arrows to the right of the Number of field variables field to increase or decrease the number of field variables on which the data depend.

Enter the following data in the Data table:

R11, R22, R33, R12, R13, and R23

Yield or creep stress ratios.

Temp

Temperature.

Field n

Predefined field variables.

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.

Click OK to return to the Edit Material dialog box.
