PROVIDES A DATASET OF MATERIALS BASED ON COUNTRY AND MATERIAL TYPE¶
Queries the metal-forming material database and returns a consolidated LS-DYNA keyword file containing all calibrated material cards that match the selected country and LS-DYNA material type. Use this worker to retrieve ready-to-use MAT_001/018/024/036/037 definitions for stamping and forming simulations without manual library searches.
When to use¶
Tagged: forming, keyword, library, lsdyna, mat_18, mat_24, material_database, metal_forming.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Country | country | select | us | ✓ | Region whose material library is queried; choose one of: United States (us), China (cn), Japan (jp), or European Union (eu). Defaults to ‘us’ if not specified. |
| Material Type | material_type | select | -18.mat | ✓ | LS-DYNA material card type to filter by; select from MAT_001 (-1.mat), MAT_018 (-18.mat, default), MAT_024 (-24.mat), MAT_036 (-36.mat), or MAT_037 (-37.mat). The default ‘-18.mat’ corresponds to MAT_POWER_LAW_PLASTICITY. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Materials | materials | file | A valid LS-DYNA keyword file (.k, plain text) containing all matching material cards wrapped in *KEYWORD / *END headers, ready to include directly in a forming simulation deck. |
