*COMPUTE RATE EFFECTS BASED ON THE LOCATION OF THE STRAIN*
==========================================================

Computes strain-rate effect scale factors from a table of strain-rate/curve pairs by locating the appropriate rate based on the current strain location. Use this worker to extract rate-dependent scaling curves (e.g. for MAT_24 or similar material cards) from a defined rate-curve table.

Inputs

     - Description
   * - Table With Rates And Curves
     - table
     - define_table
     - —
     - ✓
     - A define_table object containing paired strain-rate values and their associated stress-strain curves; each row should map a strain rate to its corresponding curve.
   * - Type Of Scaling Used
     - sf_type
     - string
     - max
     - 
     - Method used to compute the scale factor for each curve: 'max' uses the y-maximum of each curve (default), 'yfirst' uses the first y-value, 'ylast' uses the last y-value, or a numeric x-value can be entered to evaluate the scale factor at that specific abscissa.
