Linear Isotropic Material—Creo Ansys Simulation
Select Linear as the Stress-Strain type on the Structural tab of the Material Definition and use the Properties area to specify values for the following properties:
• Poisson's Ratio—You must enter the name of a Poisson's ratio function or a value between –0.9999 and 0.4999. The default is 0.3.
• Young's Modulus—You must enter a positive value or, if Young's modulus varies with temperature, the name of a Young's modulus function for this property.
• Coeff. of Thermal Expansion—This property is optional, but you should enter a value if you plan to place a thermal load on the model.
You can specify the following Material Limits for any type of isotropic material:
You can also specify the following material properties :
If you select the Thermal tab, the following properties are displayed:
Each field that has a dimension can have its own units. The values that you enter are scaled when the units change.
You can define any of these properties as a function of temperature or assign a parameter value to define a property. You can either type a value or right-click and select Function to define a function or assign a Parameter as appropriate.
