Fail Strain

Define the tensile and compressive strain limits of the material. This option is used only in conjunction with elastic material properties.

Input Data Description
Strain Fiber (T) Tensile strain limit in the fiber direction.
Strain Fiber (C) Compressive strain limit in the fiber direction.
Strain Transverse (T) Tensile strain limit in the transverse direction.
Strain Transverse (C) Compressive strain limit in the transverse direction.
Shear Strain Shear strain in the X-Y plane.
Use temperature-dependent data Specifies material parameters that depend on temperature. A Temperature field appears in the data table. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
Number of field variables Specify material parameters that depend on field variables. Field columns appear in the data table for each field variable you add. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
