Strand7:  In Detail:  Elements:  Materials

Materials

You can define your own materials at any time, or extract them from a user-configurable materials library. To generate non-linear materials, you can specify stress vs strain, force vs displacement and moment vs curvature tables.


Material models supported by Strand7 include:
  • Isotropic
  • Orthotropic
  • Anisotropic
  • Laminate
  • Rubber
  • Soil
  • User-defined
To define nonlinear material behaviour, you can specify stress vs strain, force vs displacement, moment vs curvature and moment vs rotation tables.

Yield criteria supported by Strand7 include:
  • Tresca
  • Von Mises
  • Mohr-Coulomb
  • Drucker-Prager
  • Principal stress
