The CyclicHardening object defines the evolution of the elastic domain for the nonlinear isotropic/kinematic hardening model.
import material mdb.models[name].materials[name].plastic.cyclicHardening import odbMaterial session.odbs[name].materials[name].plastic.cyclicHardening
This method creates a CyclicHardening object.
mdb.models[name].materials[name].plastic.CyclicHardening session.odbs[name].materials[name].plastic.CyclicHardening
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 Boolean specifying whether material parameters are to be input directly. The default value is OFF.
Table data
Equivalent stress.
(only if parameters=ON).
Hardening parameter (only if parameters=ON).
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 CyclicHardening object.
Exceptions
This method modifies the CyclicHardening object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the CyclicHardening method.
Return value
Exceptions
The CyclicHardening object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the CyclicHardening method.
