Product: ABAQUS/CAE
Benefits: You can now use frequency-dependent test data to evaluate viscoelastic materials in ABAQUS/CAE.
Description: You can use frequency data to evaluate time domain viscoelasticity. To evaluate a viscoelastic material, you must define viscoelasticity in conjunction with elastic or hyperelastic material data.
When you evaluate viscoelasticity based on frequency data, the normalized plots of response over time for stress relaxation and creep are not available. Instead, ABAQUS/CAE plots the following results in the Visualization module on a logarithmic scale of frequency values:
Shear moduli ratio (storage component)
Shear moduli ratio (loss component)
Bulk moduli ratio (storage component)
Bulk moduli ratio (loss component)
Property module: MaterialEvaluate
