getStrainRate for velocity in new material

Post by Gholamreza » Fri Jan 08, 2021 11:29 am

Hello everyone,

I am trying to develop new material in c++. I am wondering if the getStrainRate(void) method is the right method to get velocity in my new material?

getStrainRate() returns the material's current strain rate to a calling object. You want to use the overloaded setTrialStrain(strain, strainRate) to send strain rate into your material.
