This option is used to define the viscous properties for the two-layer viscoplastic material model. It must be used in conjunction with the *ELASTIC and *PLASTIC options.
Product: ABAQUS/Standard
Type: Model data
Level: Model
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable dependencies included in the definition of the material properties, in addition to temperature. If this parameter is omitted, it is assumed that the material properties depend only on temperature. See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,” Section 9.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User's Manual, for more information.
Set LAW=STRAIN (default) to choose a strain-hardening power law.
Set LAW=TIME to choose a time-hardening power law.
Set LAW=USER to input the creep law using user subroutine CREEP.

Third field variable.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the DEPENDENCIES parameter has a value greater than three):
Fourth field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to define the dependence of the viscous constants on temperature and other predefined field variable.
