Gasket - Strain Material dialog box (Simcenter Samcef Structure)
These options of the Gasket - Strain material only apply for a Simcenter Samcef model.
Mechanical page
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Membrane Material | Lets you select a linear elastic material for defining the Young's Modulus (E) and the Poisson's Ratio (NU).For more information, see YT and NT parameters in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Yield Pressure (YPRESS) | Lets you define the initial yield pressure. This value must match a point on the specified Loading Curve.For more information, see LITK parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Tensile Modulus (EPL) | Lets you define the tensile modulus.For more information, see YD parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Transverse Shear Modulus (GPL | Lets you define the transverse shear modulus.For more information, see G parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Initial Gap | Lets you define the initial closure strain.For more information, see EPSN parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Specify Loading Curve Field | Lets you define the loading curve (pressure vs. closure strain).For more information, see YNLE parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Specify Unloading Curve 1 Field | Lets you define the first unloading curve.For more information, see the YC parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
| Additional Unloading Curves | |
| Specify Unloading Curve 2 Field, Specify Unloading Curve 3 Field, …,Specify Unloading Curve 10 Field | Lets you add up to 9 supplementary unloading curves.For more information, see the YC parameter in the Samcef Gasket material page. |
Note:
Options of the dialog box other than the ones described here above are ignored by Simcenter Samcef.
