59.30.1 CyclicHardening(...)

This method creates a CyclicHardening object.

Path

materialApi.materials()[name].plastic().CyclicHardening

Prototype

odb_CyclicHardening&
CyclicHardening(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
                bool temperatureDependency,
                int dependencies,
                bool parameters);

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.

parameters

A Boolean specifying whether material parameters are to be input directly. The default value is false.

Table data

Equivalent stress.
(only if parameters=ON).
Hardening parameter (only if parameters=ON).
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 CyclicHardening object.

Exceptions

None.
