CREATE A MAT_089 WITHOUT STRAIN RATES KEYWORD FOR LS-DYNA

Generates an LS-DYNA MAT_089 (*MAT_PLASTIC_POLYMER) keyword block without strain-rate dependency, assembling all required material parameters into a ready-to-use deck card. Use this worker when a rate-independent elasto-plastic polymer material definition is needed for an LS-DYNA simulation.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: MAT_089, MAT_PLASTIC_POLYMER, elasto-plastic, keyword, ls-dyna, mat_89, material-card, no-strain-rate.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Material Name material_name scalar   Alphanumeric label for the material card (e.g. ‘PP_Bumper’); written into the MAT_089 header. Leave blank to omit a named header.
Material ID material_i_d scalar   Integer LS-DYNA material ID (MID) used to reference this card in the deck; must be unique within the model. Leave blank to auto-assign.
Curve Id curve_id scalar   Integer load-curve ID (LCID) referencing the pre-existing LS-DYNA *DEFINE_CURVE that defines the stress–plastic-strain hardening data; required when hardening_curve is not supplied directly.
Density density scalar   Mass density of the material in consistent model units (e.g. kg/mm³ or tonne/mm³); maps to the RO field of MAT_089.
Elastic Modulus elastic_modulus scalar   Young’s modulus (E) in consistent model pressure units (e.g. MPa or GPa); maps to the E field of MAT_089.
Poissons Ratio poissons_ratio scalar   Poisson’s ratio (dimensionless, typically 0.3–0.45 for polymers); maps to the PR field of MAT_089.
Hardening Curve hardening_curve vector   True stress vs. effective plastic strain curve supplied as an inline vector (pairs of strain, stress values); used directly when curve_id is not referenced from an existing deck curve.
Failure Strain failure_strain scalar   Effective plastic strain at element erosion/failure (dimensionless); maps to the FAIL field of MAT_089. Omit or set to a large value to disable failure.
Number Of Dig Points numberof_dig_points scalar 200   Number of Dig Points
