Optional, mutually exclusive parameters

FUNG-ANISOTROPIC: Include this parameter to use the generalized Fung anisotropic strain energy potential.
FUNG-ORTHOTROPIC: Include this parameter to use the generalized Fung orthotropic strain energy potential.
HOLZAPFEL: Include this parameter to use the Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden strain energy potential.
USER: Include this parameter if the strain energy potential and its derivatives are defined in a user subroutine (user subroutines UANISOHYPER_INV and UANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Standard or VUANISOHYPER_INV and VUANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Explicit).

Required parameters if the USER parameter is included

FORMULATION

Set FORMULATION=STRAIN to indicate that the anisotropic hyperelastic energy potential is formulated in terms of the components of the Green strain tensor and is defined by either UANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Standard or VUANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Explicit.

Set FORMULATION=INVARIANT to indicate that the anisotropic hyperelastic energy potential is formulated in terms of pseudo-invariants and is defined by either UANISOHYPER_INV in Abaqus/Standard or VUANISOHYPER_INV in Abaqus/Explicit.

TYPE

This parameter applies only to Abaqus/Standard analyses.

Set TYPE=INCOMPRESSIBLE to indicate that the anisotropic hyperelastic material defined by UANISOHYPER_INV or UANISOHYPER_STRAIN is incompressible.

Set TYPE=COMPRESSIBLE to indicate that the hyperelastic material defined by UANISOHYPER_INV or UANISOHYPER_STRAIN is compressible.

Optional parameters

DEPENDENCIES

Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of the anisotropic hyperelastic material properties. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the material properties are constant or depend only on temperature. See Specifying field variable dependence for more information.

LOCAL DIRECTIONS

This parameter can only be used in combination with an invariant-based strain energy potential, such as HOLZAPFEL or USER, FORMULATION=INVARIANT. Set this parameter equal to the number of preferred local directions (or fiber directions) in the material. The default is LOCAL DIRECTIONS=0.

When LOCAL DIRECTIONS=N, the definitions of the N local direction vectors in the reference configuration are specified using the ORIENTATION, LOCAL DIRECTIONS=M option, with M ≥ N. If M > N, the first N directions will be used.

If the HOLZAPFEL strain energy potential is used, at least one local direction must be specified.

MODULI

This parameter is applicable only when the ANISOTROPIC HYPERELASTIC option is used in conjunction with the VISCOELASTIC option.

Set MODULI=INSTANTANEOUS to indicate that the anisotropic hyperelastic material constants define the instantaneous behavior. This parameter value is not available for frequency domain viscoelasticity in an Abaqus/Standard analysis. This is the only option available if the anisotropic hyperelastic potential is defined in a user subroutine.

Set MODULI=LONG TERM to indicate that the hyperelastic material constants define the long-term behavior. This option is not available when a user subroutine is used to define the anisotropic hyperelastic potential. It is the default for all other anisotropic hyperelastic models.

PROPERTIES

This parameter can be used only if the USER parameter is specified. Set this parameter equal to the number of property values needed as data in user subroutines UANISOHYPER_INV and UANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Standard or VUANISOHYPER_INV and VUANISOHYPER_STRAIN in Abaqus/Explicit. The default value is 0.

Data lines to define the material properties for the USER anisotropic hyperelasticity model

No data lines are needed if the PROPERTIES parameter is omitted or set to 0. Otherwise, first line

Give the material properties, eight per line. If this option is used in conjunction with the VISCOELASTIC option, the material properties must define the instantaneous behavior. If this option is used in conjunction with the MULLINS EFFECT option, the material properties must define the primary response.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to define the material properties.
