Calibration Setup

The Calibration Setup dialog box provides convenient access to calibration parameters, test data sets, and plots of your test data and calibration curves.

This page discusses:

The dialog box is organized into three sections: Material Models, Test Data Sets, and Plots.

Material Models

The Material Models section displays the current calibration parameters and enables you to edit them manually before running a calibration job. You might want to perform edits manually to achieve a fairly close fit before running the calibration.

This section also includes shortcut buttons that support caching of material parameter edits. You can save the current set of material model parameters and then restore them on reset, and you can also clear the cache, and reset your current changes. You can also filter out the material parameters that you are not including as design variables for calibration, and you can export the current material model in the form of an Abaqus input (.inp) file.

Test Data Sets

The Test datasets section displays the test data set and response data sets that you have added. You can filter the test data to display only the data sets included in the calibration, and you can edit, rename, duplicate, export, and delete data sets.

Plots

The Plots section enables you to see all of the plots available in your session, and you can show or hide a plot, delete a plot, and automatically update response data.
