Annealing
An Annealing subnode can be added to the Phase Transformation Strain multiphysics coupling. This subnode is used to specify an annealing temperature above which plastic hardening variables (equivalent plastic strains) are set to zero.
•
The Annealing multiphysics subnode must be used in conjunction with the Annealing subnode to Plasticity in the coupled Solid Mechanics interface, operating on the same selection.
•
TRIP strains, thermal strains, and the plastic strain tensor are unaffected by the Annealing subnode.
