materialApi.materials()[name].creep()
This method creates a Creep object.
materialApi.materials()[name].Creep
odb_Creep& Creep(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table, const odb_String& law, bool temperatureDependency, int dependencies);
Required argument
An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
An odb_String specifying the strain-hardening law. Possible values are "STRAIN", "TIME", "HYPERBOLIC_SINE", and "USER". The default value is "STRAIN".
A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.
An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.
Table data
If law=STRAIN or law=TIME, the table data specify the following:
.

.
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.
