Comments
- Support information for MATVP is:
- Analysis types: Nonlinear static/transient for both small/large displacement types.
- Elements: CHEXA, CTETRA, CPENTA, CPYRA.
- Specifying a MAT1 and a MATVP Bulk Data Entry with the same MID allows modeling creep material. Specifying a MAT1, a MATS1 and a MATVP Bulk Data Entry with the same MID can model a creep material with plasticity.
- You can choose explicit or implicit time integration for creep materials by using the TINT field of the VISCO card.
- The formulation for different material models
are as follows:
STRAIN hardening formulation:
TIME hardening formulation:- Equivalent creep strain rate
- Equivalent deviatoric stress
- Total time
HYPERB material model formulation:- and
- The current and absolute zero temperatures, respectively.
Anand material model formulation:- Deformation resistance
- Initial deformation resistance
Darveaux material model formulation:
- The units of various CTYPE
material parameters:
- STRAIN, TIMEC, TIMET

Consider switching to another set of units if the values are too small. All other material parameters not mentioned above are dimensionless.
- STRAIN, TIMEC, TIMET
- A VISCO Subcase Entry is mandatory to conduct creep material analysis in a particular subcase.
- If CNTNLSUB is used with the
time hardening form:
- TIMEC indicates the accumulative time, only from the subcases with the VISCO entry.
- TIMET indicates the accumulative time from all the connected subcases.
For example, if there are 4 subcases – 1, 2, 3 and 5, where only Subcases 1, 3, and 5 are connected by CNTNLSUB.
If subcases 1 and 5 have VISCO entry while Subcase 3 does not have the VISCO entry, then:- TIMEC will indicate the accumulative time from Subcases 1 and 5 only.
- TIMET will indicate the accumulative time from Subcases 1, 3 and 5.
If CNTNLSUB is not used, then both TIMEC and TIMET have the same effect of denoting the time for a specific subcase (only for subcases with the VISCO entry).
- The material parameters must be specified
according to the chosen creep law. For example, the parameter B is used in both Hyperbolic
Sine and the Darveaux models, but their meanings are different.
For the Anand model, if the ratio dH/R is the only available unit, set R as 1.0 and use dH/R as the value of dH. If and are known, set them as the values of and and set all other and as zeroes.
- Format B can be used for a basic material parameter calibration functionality based on experimental creep test data. The calibration is based on a time hardening formulation. The upper and lower bounds can be used for searching the suitable parameter values during the calibration process.
- There are no default values for
ALB and AUB. The following are example values:
- ALB=1.0e-25, AUB=1.0e-20
- ALB=1.0e-20, AUB=1.0e-15
- ALB=1.0e-15, AUB=1.0e-10
- ALB=1.0e-10, AUB=1.0e-5
- ALB=1.0e-5, AUB=1.0
