Potential(...)

This method creates a Potential object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].creep().Potential
materialApi.materials()[name].plastic().Potential
materialApi.materials()[name].viscous().Potential

Prototype

odb_Potential&
Potential(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
          bool temperatureDependency,
          int dependencies);

Required arguments

table: An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.

Optional arguments

temperatureDependency: A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.
dependencies: An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.

Table data

$R_{11}$ .
$R_{22}$ .
$R_{33}$ .
$R_{12}$ .
$R_{13}$ .
$R_{23}$ .
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 Potential object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

The Potential object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Potential method.
