Common Properties: Tables
Description
Links to previously-defined tables that scale different properties with temperature or time.
Properties
Modulus/Stiffness vs Temperature
Factor vs Temperature table to scale the modulus or stiffness of the property with temperature.
Factor vs Temperature table to scale the yield stress of the property with temperature.
Thermal Expansion vs Temperature
Factor vs Temperature table to scale the thermal expansion coefficient with temperature.
Mean/Instantaneous
The values in the Factor vs Temperature table multiply the Thermal Expansion coefficient assigned for the material to define the variation of thermal expansion coefficient with temperature. This variation can be interpreted as either mean or instantaneous thermal expansion coefficients, depending on the selected option. For mean thermal expansion coefficients, the first point in the Factor vs Temperature table is assumed to be the reference temperature used to define the table variation. This allows the same table to be used even when the model reference temperature (see REFERENCE/INITIAL TEMPERATURE) is not the same as the table reference temperature, as long as model reference temperature is greater than table reference temperature.
