Product: Abaqus/Standard
Benefits: Now you can specify whether total time or creep time should be used in creep models in which time is used explicitly.
Description: In some of the creep models available in Abaqus/Standard, such as the time-hardening power law model and the Singh-Mitchell model, time is used explicitly. Previously, the total time was used in these models. Now, in addition to the total time, the creep time can be used as well. The creep time is computed as the sum of the times of procedures with time-dependent material behavior. For the time-hardening power law and Singh-Mitchell models, you can specify the time type. Similarly, for user-defined creep models either the total or the creep time can be used. In this case both times are passed as parameters into user subroutine CREEP.
