block contact material-table
command
Syntax
- block contact material-table keyword <range>
-
The material table is used to define the joint constitutive model and properties that should be assigned when new contacts form. By default, all new contacts are assigned the
mohr
material type. Use the commands below to change this default. No default properties are assigned. All large-strain models must supply default normal and shear stiffnesses at a minimum.Entries can be added to the table to support the assignment of different joint constitutive models or properties for different ranges when new contacts form.
- add keyword ...
- jmodel keyword
Add an entry to the material table that specifies the joint constitutive model to be used for new contacts that form and fall into the range.
- bilinear-mohr
- cyjm
- elastic
- mohr
- power
- softening-mohr
- property keyword ...
Add an entry to the material table that specifies the joint property value to be used for new contacts that form and fall into the range.
- apply
Apply the material table to set constitutive models of existing contacts according the the ranges
- default keyword ...
- jmodel keyword
Specify the default joint constitutive model to be assigned to new contacts. By default the
mohr
model is assigned to all new contacts.- bilinear-mohr
- cyjm
- elastic
- mohr
- power
- softening-mohr
- property keyword ...
Specify the default value \(f\) for property
keyword
to be assigned to new contacts. There is no default, so generally a normal stiffness and shear stiffness must be specified.
- list
Print out the material table (constitutive models, properties and ranges)
- modify i keyword ...
- jmodel keyword
Modify entry \(i\) of the material table that specifies the joint constitutive model to be used for new contacts that form and fall into the range.
- bilinear-mohr
- cyjm
- elastic
- mohr
- power
- softening-mohr
- property keyword ...
Modify the entry \(i\) of the material table that specifies the joint property value to be used for new contacts that form and fall into the range.
- remove <i > <all>
Remove entry \(i\) from the material table.
Usage Example
See Contact Material Table for details and an example on how this command can be used.
