Van Paepegem Material dialog box

Name-Description
Name Sets a unique name for the parameter.
Label Sets a unique integer for the parameter.The dialog box automatically displays the next available label number. However, you might want to change this if you use a particular series of numbers to identify certain types of parameters.
Description Sets a description for the parameter.This description appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Description column to the list table. To do that, right-click the column heading row and choose ColumnsConfigure. In the Configure Columns dialog box, select the Description check box and then click OK.
Categorization
Category Sets the category name for this parameter.
Sub-Category Sets the subcategory name for this parameter.The subcategory appears in the Durability Simulation Objects dialog box only if you add the Sub-Category column to the list table.
Static Limits
Tension (X_T) Sets the static stress limit for tension on the undamaged material in the fiber direction.
Tension (Y_T) Sets the static stress limit for tension on the undamaged material perpendicular to the fiber direction.
Compression (X_C) Sets the static stress limit for compression on the undamaged material in the fiber direction.
Compression (Y_C) Sets the static stress limit for compression on the undamaged material perpendicular to the fiber direction.
Shear (S) Sets the static stress limit for shear.
Properties
Representation Specifies the van Paepegem calculation to activate in the solver.UD StandardActivates the unidirectional standard calculation.Woven StandardActivates the woven standard calculation.UD with R-Ratio DependencyActivates the unidirectional calculation with R-ratio dependency.Woven with R-Ratio DependencyActivates the woven standard calculation with R-ratio dependency.
c1–c8 Appear when Representation is set to UD Standard or Woven Standard.When Representation is set to UD Standard, you can specify values for c1 through c8 in groups D11, D12, and D22. (D11 encompasses the parameters for the damage calculation in the fiber direction, D12 for the shear direction, and D22 for orthogonal to the fiber direction.)Sets the values for the coefficients.Parameters c6c8 are used only if the Implicit Mean Stress Correction check box is selected in the Van Paepegem Configuration dialog box.
c9 Appears when Representation is set to Woven Standard or Woven with R-Ratio Dependency, and in group D12 when Representation is set to UD Standard or UD with R-Ratio Dependency.Set the coefficient for the permanent strain calculation.
Specify Field Appears when Representation is set to Woven with R-Ratio Dependency.When Representation is set to UD with R-Ratio Dependency, you can specify the field in groups D11, D12, and D22.Lets you select an existing field or create a table field to represent different sets of parameters c1c5 for different R-ratios.Note: Formulas are not supported.
