Inelastic Strain Rate
The Inelastic Strain Rate subnode allows you to provide inelastic strain contributions to the material models Linear Elastic Material, Nonlinear Elastic Material, and Hyperelastic Material on a variety of formats as in External Strain. Here, however, the inelastic contribution is given as a rate, and the total inelastic contribution is computed by integrating this rate in time.
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 inelastic strain input type differs between layers, you will need to add several Inelastic Strain Rate nodes with different layer selections.
If the same layer is selected in two Inelastic Strain Rate nodes being active on the same boundary, the contributions will be added.
All other settings for the Inelastic Strain Rate node are described in the documentation for Inelastic Strain Rate in the Solid Mechanics interface.
