The VoidNucleation object defines the nucleation of voids in a porous material.
import material mdb.models[name].materials[name].porousMetalPlasticity.voidNucleation import odbMaterial session.odbs[name].materials[name].porousMetalPlasticity\ .voidNucleation
This method creates a VoidNucleation object.

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.
Table data
, the mean value of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.
, the standard deviation of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.
, the volume fraction of nucleating voids.
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 VoidNucleation object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
This method modifies the VoidNucleation object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the VoidNucleation method.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError.
The VoidNucleation object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the VoidNucleation method.
