CREATE A MAT_224

Generates an LS-DYNA MAT_224 (Tabulated Johnson-Cook) keyword block from user-supplied material parameters and curve/table references. Use this worker to programmatically author rate- and temperature-dependent plasticity cards for crash and impact simulations.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: -, 2, 4, A, D, L, M, N.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Material Name material_name scalar   String label assigned to the MAT_224 card (e.g. ‘DP980_MAT224’); purely informational and written into the keyword header.
Material ID material_i_d scalar   Integer LS-DYNA material ID (*MAT MID field); must be unique within the deck — leave null to let the workflow assign one automatically.
Starting Table ID starting_table_i_d scalar   Integer ID of the first *DEFINE_TABLE entry referenced by the card; subsequent tables are numbered incrementally from this value.
Starting Curve Id starting_curve_id scalar   Integer ID of the first *DEFINE_CURVE entry referenced by the card; subsequent curves are numbered incrementally from this value.
Density density scalar   Mass density of the material (RO field, units consistent with model — typically tonne/mm³ or kg/m³); required for valid dynamic simulations.
Elastic Modulus elastic_modulus scalar   Young’s modulus (E field, units consistent with model — e.g. GPa or MPa); governs the elastic response before yielding.
Poissons Ratio poissons_ratio scalar   Poisson’s ratio (PR field, dimensionless, typically 0.28–0.30 for steels); controls lateral strain during elastic deformation.
CP c_p scalar   Specific heat capacity (CP field, energy per unit mass per degree — e.g. mJ/(tonne·K)); required when thermal softening tables are used.
TR t_r scalar   Room / reference temperature (TR field, in model temperature units, e.g. K or °C); sets the baseline for Johnson-Cook thermal softening.
BETA bet_a scalar    
NUMINT numin_t scalar    
LCK1 lc_k1 vector   LCK1 <a class=’btn btn-xs btn-default’ target=’_blank’ href=’https://www.d3view.com/docs/master/workflows/Glossary.html#curveinput’> <i class=’fa fa-external-link’> </i> View more </a>
Strain Rates strain_rates scalar    
NDIG ndi_g scalar 200    

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
dynakeyword_mat224_output_1 dynakeyword_mat224_output_1 text Plain-text LS-DYNA keyword block containing the fully assembled *MAT_224 card (and any companion *DEFINE_TABLE / *DEFINE_CURVE entries), ready to be included or appended to a simulation deck.
