Action: Creep  (static calculation)

Creep, shrinkage, and relaxation calculation in a given number of timesteps. The results are logged to a list file and stored to a given load case.

SettingDescription
Action will be skipped (Option) The action will be skipped in the calculation process if the option is selected.
Number of Time-Steps (Input 1) The number of time steps to be calculated. The creep time DELTA-T is divided as given in the Recalc-options ·C+S linear or logarithmic. Each time step leads to a single internal load case, accessible in the load case pool (:: Result).
Load case name (Output 1) Name of loadcase, where the results of the calculation will be stored
List File (Output 2) List file name to list load case results.
  • The  default value '*'  is used to generate a filename automatically as loadcasename.lst
  • If the field stays empty, no list file will be created
Delta-T duration of creep, shrinkage, and relaxation
Description Descriptive text for the selected Action (max. 80 characters)

Creep, Shrinkage, and Relaxation models have to defined as variables and selected in the material definition. The load case given in this action has to be defined as empty load case to store the creep, shrinkage and relaxation results.

Load case results and listfile are stored in the subdirectory of the current schedule variant (e.g. '(DefaultSchedule)').
