Non-linear material data storage

The workflow for importing your non-linear stress-strain data, calculating the Ramberg-Osgood coefficients, and plotting the data has been improved. All the stress-strain tension data is located on one tab. All the stress-strain compression data is located on a separate tab.

Import your actual material stress-strain data as a csv file, using semi-colons as delimiters. This data is used to calculate the coefficients used in the Ramberg-Osgood equation. Plot the data and compare the experimental curves with the Ramberg-Osgood curves.

With this 2017 FCS release,

• You can import data for storage in the Stress-Strain (tension) tab and calculate Ramberg-Osgood isotropic coefficients. All data is considered to be isotropic, whether it is fiber-filled or not.
• You can import data for storage in the Stress-Strain (Compression) tab, but you can't perform calculations.

Save the study file and import it into Helius PSV to execute progressive failure analysis.
