The Stress-Strain tab of Thermoplastics material dialog provides Stress-Strain (Tension) and (Compression) data for the thermoplastics material. This is used for the structural analysis of the finished part.
To access this dialog, right-click 
in the Study Tasks pane, then select Details orEdit from the drop-down menu.
Dialog Elements
- Stress-Strain (Tension)
- Each line of the table represents a set of assigned values for Stress, Strain, Angle of testing relative to the flow direction, Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Strain rate for the material in tension. If the dialog was opened using the Edit option, values can be entered manually into the table.
- Stress-Strain (Compression)
- Each line of the table represents a set of assigned values for Stress, Strain, Angle of testing relative to the flow direction, Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Strain rate for the material in compression. If the dialog was opened using the Edit option, values can be entered manually into the table.
- Import Data
- This button is available if the dialog was opened using the Edit option. Click the button and the Import Non-Linear Material Data dialog opens which enables the non-linear data file (*.csv format) to be imported.
- Plot data
- Generate a graph of the material data. If the Ramberg-Osgood coefficients have been calculated from this data, the graph generated from the Ramberg-Osgood equation will also be plotted. These coefficients can be viewed on the Mechanical Models tab of this dialog.
- View/Edit test information
- Details about the material test procedures are viewed in a new dialog.
- Name
- The material for which these results are valid.
