CREATE A MAT_181 WITH STRAIN RATES KEYWORD FOR LS-DYNA

Generates an LS-DYNA MAT_181 (Simplified Rubber/Foam with Strain Rates) keyword block from user-supplied material parameters and curve/table references. Use this worker to programmatically author rate-dependent hyperelastic or foam material cards ready for inclusion in an LS-DYNA input deck.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: LS-DYNA, MAT_181, deck_authoring, foam, hyperelastic, keyword, mat181, material_card.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Material Name material_name scalar   Alphanumeric label assigned to the MAT_181 card (e.g. ‘Foam_PU_30kg’); leave blank to omit a name field in the keyword.
Material ID material_i_d scalar 1   Integer material ID referenced by part cards in the LS-DYNA deck; defaults to 1.
Table ID table_id scalar 1   Integer ID of the LS-DYNA *DEFINE_TABLE that maps strain-rate values to the corresponding stress-strain load curves; defaults to 1.
Curve Id curve_id scalar 1   Integer ID of the LS-DYNA *DEFINE_CURVE used for the quasi-static (baseline) stress-strain response; defaults to 1.
Density density scalar 1.75e-06   Mass density of the material in consistent units (e.g. tonne/mm³ for standard LS-DYNA models); defaults to 1.75e-6 tonne/mm³.
Bulk Modulus bulk_modulus scalar 4   Bulk modulus (pressure-volumetric stiffness) in consistent pressure units (e.g. GPa or kN/mm²); defaults to 4.
Specimen Length specimenlength scalar 1   Gauge length of the test specimen used to derive the input curves, in model length units (mm by default); defaults to 1.
Specimen Width specimenwidth scalar 1   Width of the test specimen used to derive the input curves, in model length units (mm by default); defaults to 1.
Specimen Thickness specimenthickness scalar 1   Thickness of the test specimen used to derive the input curves, in model length units (mm by default); defaults to 1.
