Foam Material Definition dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Structure)
Properties group
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Mass Density (RHO). | Lets you define the mass density. In the Samcef .MAT command, this corresponds to the M parameter. |
Mechanical page
| Number of Points (NTPS) | Lets you define the number of MU, Alpha, and Beta triplet coefficients you want to use for the Samcef Hyperfoam law's equation.You can define up to 10 triplets. |
|---|---|
| MU, Alpha, Beta | For each line of the table, define the MU, Alpha and Beta coefficients of the equation. These coefficients must be constants. |
| MU Units | Let's you specify the units of the MU coefficients. |
Thermal page
| Thermal Expansion Coefficient (TEXP) | Lets you define the material's CTE.The CTE is constant.For more information, see the A parameter of the Samcef material. |
