Prototype

odb_Swelling&
Swelling(const odb_SequenceSequenceDouble& table,
         const odb_String& law,
         bool temperatureDependency,
         int dependencies);

Required argument

table

An odb_SequenceSequenceDouble specifying the items described below.
This argument is valid only when law="INPUT".

Optional arguments

law

An odb_String specifying the type of data defining the swelling behavior. Possible values are "INPUT" and "USER". The default value is "INPUT".

temperatureDependency

A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is false.

Table data

Volumetric swelling strain rate.
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 Swelling object.
