Creep: User-defined Creep

Description

Defines metal creep behaviour via selected Strain vs Time tables.

Toolbar Functions

See LAYOUTS: Creep.

Parameters

Previously defined Strain vs Time tables may be selected to describe the material creep behaviour. Each table is associated with a stress and a temperature value at which the table was derived. During the analysis, Strand7 interpolates the stress-temperature-strain landscape to calculate the creep coefficients at element integration points.

Include

If set, the strain vs time table contributes to the creep strain.

Stress

The stress level at which the strain vs time table is determined.

Temperature

The temperature at which the strain vs time table is determined.
