- classmethod planar_2D(total_time, num_increments, normal_direction, target_def_grad=None, target_def_grad_rate=None, dump_frequency=1)#
Generate a planar 2D load case normal to the x-, y-, or z-direction.
- Parameters:
num_increments (int) –
normal_direction (str) – A single character, “x”, “y” or “z”, representing the loading plane normal direction.
target_def_grad ((nested) list of float or ndarray of shape (2, 2)) – Target deformation gradient components. Either a 2D array, nested list, or a flat list. If passed as a flat list, the first and fourth elements correspond to the normal components of the deformation gradient tensor. The second element corresponds to the first-row, second-column (shear) component and the third element corresponds to the second-row, first-column (shear) component.
target_def_grad_rate ((nested) list of float or ndarray of shape (2, 2)) – Target deformation gradient rate components. Either a 2D array, nested list, or a flat list. If passed as a flat list, the first and fourth elements correspond to the normal components of the deformation gradient rate tensor. The second element corresponds to the first-row, second-column (shear) component and the third element corresponds to the second-row, first-column (shear) component.
dump_frequency – By default, 1, meaning results are written out every increment.

Generate a plane-strain load step.
- Parameters:
total_time –
num_increments –
direction – String of two characters, ij, where {i,j} ∈ {“x”,”y”,”z”}. The first character, i, corresponds to the loading direction and the second, j, corresponds to the zero-strain direction. Zero stress will be specified on the remaining direction.
target_def_grad (float | None) – Target deformation gradient to achieve along the loading direction component.
target_def_grad_rate (float | None) – Target deformation gradient rate to achieve along the loading direction component.
dump_frequency (int | None) – By default, 1, meaning results are written out every increment.
strain_rate_mode (StrainRateMode | str | None) – One of “def_grad_rate”, “vel_grad”, “vel_grad_approx”. If not specified, default is “def_grad_rate”. Use “vel_grad_approx” for specifying non-mixed boundary conditions.
