3.1. Nomenclature of models#

To avoid overloading this document, groupings of the various models are proposed here. We will then call:

3D modeling

=

3D models, 3D_SI

Modeling INCO_UPG

=

3D models_ INCO_UPG, AXIS_INCO_UPGet D_ PLAN_INCO_UPG

Modeling INCO_UP

=

3D models_ INCO_UP, AXIS_INCO_UPD_PLAN_INCO_UP

Modeling D_ PLAN

=

the models D_ PLANet D_ PLAN_SI

Modeling AXIS

=

the models AXISet AXIS_SI

2D modeling

=

the models D_ PLAN, D_ PLAN_SI, AXIS, AXIS_SI

Modeling C_ PLAN

=

the models C_ PLANet C_ PLAN_SI

Modeling COQUE

=

the models COQUE_3Det DKT

Modeling TUYAU

=

the models TUYAU_3Met TUYAU_6M

Modeling COQUE1D

=

the models COQUE_AXIS

Modeling CONT_PLAN

=

the C_ PLANet models COQUE and TUYAU and COQUE1D

3D modelling_ DIS

=

the models DIS_Tet DIS_TR

Modeling JOINT

=

PLAN_JOINT, AXIS_JOINT

3.2. Internal variables#

The internal variables are described briefly in this document for each behavior. Details of their meaning are provided in the specific reference materials for these behaviors. However, the name of the internal variables is visible in the « messages » file when STAT_NON_LINE/DYNA_NON_LINE is run.

Selecting the right internal variable number (V1, V2, V3, etc.) is impractical to use and becomes very difficult when you mix several behaviors. That’s why some commands allow you to use their version named using the NOM_VARI keyword: CALC_CHAMP, CREA_TABLE, IMPR_RESU, POST_CHAMP, POST_ELEM, RECU_FONCTION and TEST_RESU.

In addition, when printing a result in the MED (IMPR_RESU) format, a field named (VARI_ELGA_NOMME) is also produced and allows these internal variables to be easily displayed.

Remarks:

  • The internal variable called « plasticity indicator » indicates that there was plasticity created during the calculation step and at the current Gauss point and not during the entire transition;

  • Behavioral laws (keyword RELATION) are not the only steps that create internal variables. The choice of deformation (keyword DEFORMATION =” SIMO_MIEHE “for example), but also the keyword POST_ITER and the use of the De Borst algorithm also use internal variables.

  • The use of UMAT to program laws of behavior does not allow the use of the naming of internal variables.

  • Naming internal variables is possible with MFront but this does not yet work in POURSUITE.

  • Polycrystalline laws of behavior do not name their internal variables either.

Metallurgical-type behavior laws (META_) have a specific naming system, explained in the appendix.
