The BrittleCracking object specifies cracking and postcracking properties for the brittle cracking material model.
import material mdb.models[name].materials[name].brittleCracking import odbMaterial session.odbs[name].materials[name].brittleCracking
This method creates a BrittleCracking object.
mdb.models[name].materials[name].BrittleCracking session.odbs[name].materials[name].BrittleCracking
Required argument
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.
An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of postcracking behavior. Possible values are STRAIN, DISPLACEMENT, and GFI. The default value is STRAIN.
Table data
If type=STRAIN the table data specify the following:
Remaining direct stress after cracking.
Direct cracking strain.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Remaining direct stress after cracking.
Direct cracking displacement.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Failure stress.
Mode I fracture energy.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Return value
A BrittleCracking object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the BrittleCracking object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the BrittleCracking method.
Return value
Exceptions
The BrittleCracking object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the BrittleCracking method.
In addition, the BrittleCracking object can have the following members:
A BrittleShear object.
A BrittleFailure object.
