External Strain
The External Strain subnode allows you to provide inelastic strain contributions to the Linear Elastic Material or Hyperelastic Material on a variety of formats.
Shell Properties
Select the layer or layers for which this strain contribution is to be added.
When Use all layers is not selected.
If the external strain input type differs between layers, you will need to add several External Strain nodes with different layer selections.
If the same layer is selected in two External Strain nodes being active on the same boundary, the contributions will be added.
All other settings for the External Strain node are described in the documentation for External Strain in the Solid Mechanics interface.
