This option is used to define the first bending moment behavior of beams. It can be used only in conjunction with the *BEAM GENERAL SECTION, SECTION=NONLINEAR GENERAL option.
Products: Abaqus/Standard Abaqus/Explicit
Type: Model data
Level: Part, Part instance
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the moment-curvature relationship, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the moment–curvature relationship is constant or depends only on temperature. See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 21.1.2 of the Abaqus Analysis User's Guide, for more information.
Include this parameter if the bending moment–curvature relationship is nonlinear but elastic.
Include this parameter if the bending moment varies linearly with curvature.
First line:
Bending stiffness of the section about the first beam section local axis.
Temperature.
First field variable.
Second field variable.
Etc., up to six field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than six):
Seventh field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the bending stiffness as a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.
First line:
Bending moment.
Curvature.
Temperature.
First field variable.
Second field variable.
Etc., up to five field variables.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than five):
Sixth field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the bending moment–curvature relationship as a function of temperature and other predefined field variables.
