Inherent Strain
Inherent Strain
Inherent Strain Tensor is in general a 3x3 matrix which defines the inelastic deformation of the welding parts.Selects bodies (mostly weld beads) and assigns this inherent strain tensor data.
This is applicable for Fast Distortion analysis.
There are two
options:
-
Isotropic: The user specifies only one value say alpha (default is -1.0e-06), a scalar value input is needed from user.
We write [ 1.0-e06, 1.0-e06, 1.0-e06, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 ]
- Anisotropic : The user specifies the whole tensor [ XX, YY, ZZ, XY, YZ, ZX
]
