59.109.1 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 argument

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

, the mean value of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.
, the standard deviation of the nucleation-strain normal distribution.
, 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.
