Hi Gerard and Steve,
I have a solid mixture material defined with neo-Hookean and continuous fiber distribution (exp-power-law, von-Mises-3d)
- I am trying to define each element with a unique von-Mises fiber distribution.
Previously, I have defined all elements with one von-Mises using the following code:
<material id="1" name="Material1" type="solid mixture">
<solid type="neo-Hookean">
<density>1</density>
<E>0.00095001</E>
<v>0.46986</v>
</solid>
<solid type="continuous fiber distribution">
<fibers type="fiber-exponential-power-law">
<alpha>5.7</alpha>
<beta>2</beta>
<ksi>0.0001869</ksi>
<mu>0</mu>
</fibers>
<fiber type="angles">
<theta>-53.52</theta>
<phi>90</phi>
</fiber>
<distribution type="von-Mises-3d">
<b>2.952</b>
</distribution>
<scheme type="fibers-3d-fei">
<resolution>196</resolution>
</scheme>
</solid>
</material>
where "theta" is the measurement of angle for von-Mises, and "b" is the measurement of concentration for von-Mises.
Also previously, I have discovered that I could use "MeshData" section to assign different fiber direction to each element with the following code:
<MeshData>
<ElementData elem_set="Part1" var="fiber">
<elem lid="1">-0.88244,0.47043,0</elem>
<elem lid="2">-0.88244,0.47043,0</elem>
...
<elem lid="1000">-0.88244,0.47043,0</elem>
</ElementData>
</MeshData>
Therefore, I was planning to use "MeshData" to assign different angles to each element. However, in this way, the concentration factor "b" cannot be assigned to each element individually. That could not be a fully-defined von-Mises distribution.
I am wondering if you have insights on this problem. Your help is greatly appreciated.
