VoidNucleation object

The VoidNucleation object defines the nucleation of voids in a porous material.

The following topics are discussed:

Access

materialApi.materials()[name].porousMetalPlasticity().voidNucleation()

VoidNucleation(...)

This method creates a VoidNucleation object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].porousMetalPlasticity().VoidNucleation

Prototype

odb_VoidNucleation&
VoidNucleation(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

  • εN, the mean value of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.

  • sN, the standard deviation of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.

  • fN, the volume fraction of nucleating voids.

  • 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 VoidNucleation object.

Exceptions

RangeError.

Members

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