The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the DamageInitiation method.
Return value
Exceptions
The DamageInitiation object can have the following members:
A SymbolicConstant specifying the damage initiation definition. Possible values are FLD and MSFLD. The default value is MSFLD.
A Float specifying the critical value of the deformation severity index for equivalent plastic strains. The default value is 10.0.
A Float specifying the critical value of the deformation severity index for strains normal to the groove direction. The default value is 10.0.
A Float specifying the critical value of the deformation severity index for shear strains. The default value is 10.0.
An Int specifying the frequency, in increments, at which the Marciniak-Kuczynski analysis is going to be performed. The default value is 1.
A Float specifying the value of Ks. The default value is 0.0.
An Int specifying the number of imperfections to be considered for the evaluation of the Marciniak-Kuczynski analysis. These imperfections are assumed to be equally spaced in the angular direction. The default value is 4.
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 Float specifying the value of the coefficient that will multiply the shear contribution to the Hashin's fiber initiation criterion. The default value is 0.0.
A Float specifying the factor used for filtering the ratio of principal strain rates used for the evaluation of the MSFLD damage initiation criterion. The default value is 1.0.
A Float specifying the tolerance within which the damage initiation criterion must be satisfied. The default value is 0.05.
A SymbolicConstant specifying the damage initiation direction. Possible values are NMORI and TMORI. The default value is NMORI.
A tuple of tuples of Floats specifying the items described in the "Table data" section.
A DamageEvolution object.
A DamageStabilization object.
A DamageStabilizationCohesive object.
