UPDATE TO REMOVE LOCALIZATION

Detects the onset of localization in an effective stress–strain curve by comparing an input (test/baseline) curve against a simulation output curve using a configurable ratio threshold. From the detected localization point onward, the curve is extended via iso-parametric scaling in both X and Y directions. Use this worker to produce a physically consistent post-necking tail for MAT_24-style plasticity input.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Input Effective Stress input_effective_stress vector   Reference effective stress–strain curve (typically from a physical test or baseline simulation) used as the target to detect the localization onset point; supply as a vector of (strain, stress) pairs in consistent units.
Output Effective Stress output_effective_stress vector   Effective stress–strain curve from the current simulation that is compared against the input reference to identify where localization begins; supply as a vector of (strain, stress) pairs in the same units as the input curve.
Ratio to detect Localization ratio scalar 0.05   Dimensionless threshold ratio (default 0.05): localization is flagged at the first point where the absolute difference between the two curves exceeds this fraction of the input curve’s y-value; increase to allow larger divergence before truncation.
Scale Factor sf scalar 2.0   Y-axis iso-parametric scale factor applied beyond the localization point (default 2.0); controls how steeply the stress is extrapolated after necking — leave at default for a typical steel post-necking tail.
X-Scale Factor xsf scalar 1.0   X-axis iso-parametric scale factor applied beyond the localization point (default 1.0, i.e. no X-scaling); increase above 1.0 to stretch the strain range of the extrapolated post-localization segment.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
updated_curve updated_curve vector Effective stress–strain curve with the post-localization segment replaced by the iso-parametrically scaled extension; returned as a vector of (strain, stress) pairs ready for direct use as a plasticity input curve (e.g., MAT_24 LCSS).
