|---|---|
| From the Property View of an Isotropic material, select the Samcef Isotropic Structure type to add creep laws to a Samcef isotropic material.From the Property View of an Orthotropic material, select the Samcef Orthotropic Structure type to add creep laws to a Samcef orthotropic material.From the Property View of an Anisotropic material, select the Samcef Anisotropic Structure type to add creep laws to a Samcef anisotropic material. | |
| Creep page | |
| Select Temperature-Dependent Time Hardenning (Norton-Bailey) Power-Law (Type 301) to create a Samcef NORTON strain based creep law. | |
| Threshold Strain (THRESH) | Define the threslhod for strain.For more information, see the EPSN parameter of the Norton material in the Samcef materials book. |
| Hardening | Lets you define the hardening type.StrainStrain based creep law.TimeNot supported by the Samcef environment. |
| Power Law Creep Coefficients | |
| Check Unit System | NoUnits of the creep law is supposed to be same than the ones defined for the export.YesLest you define the units of the law. |
| Units(Force)(Length)(Mass) | Appears when you select Yes form the Check Unit System list.Defines the unit system. |
| Constant Multiplier (a) | Define the constant multiplier of the law.For more information, see the A parameter of the Norton material in the Samcef materials book. |
| SIGMA Exponent (b) | Define the sigma exponent of the law.For more information, see the B parameter of the Norton material in the Samcef materials book. |
| Hardening Exponent (d) | Define the hardenning coefficient of the law.For more information, see the D parameter of the Norton material in the Samcef materials book. |
