The Sorption object defines absorption and exsorption behaviors of a partially saturated porous medium in the analysis of coupled wetting liquid flow and porous medium stress.
import material mdb.models[name].materials[name].sorption import odbMaterial session.odbs[name].materials[name].sorption
This method creates a Sorption object.

Required argument
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying absorption behavior. Possible values are LOG and TABULAR. The default value is TABULAR.
A Boolean specifying whether the exsorption data is specified. The default value is OFF.
A SymbolicConstant specifying exsorption behavior. Possible values are LOG and TABULAR. The default value is TABULAR.
A Float specifying the slope of the scanning line,
. This slope must be positive and larger than the slope of the absorption or exsorption behaviors. The default value is 0.0.
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below. The default value is an empty sequence.
Table data
