*INITIAL CONDITIONS

Data lines for TYPE=HARDENING, REBAR:

First line:

1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.

2. Rebarn ame. If this ﬁeld is left blank, the initial conditions will be a pplied to all rebars in the

model.

3. Initial equivalent plastic strain, .

4. Initialbackstress, . (Onlyrele vant for the kinematic hardening models.)

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne the hardening parameters for rebars in various

elements or element sets.

No data lines are required for TYPE=HARDENING, USER.

Data lines for TYPE=HARDENING, SECTION POINTS:

First line:

1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.

2. Section point number.

3. Initial equivalent plastic strain, .

4. Firstvalue of the initial backstress, . (Only releva nt for the kinematic hardening models.)

5. Secondvalue of the initial backstress, . (Onlyrelevant for the kinematic hardening models.)

6. Thirdvalue of the initial backstress, . (Only relevant for the kinematic h ardening models.)

Give the backstress components as deﬁned for this element type in Part VI, “Elements,” of the

ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual. In any element for which an *ORIENTATIONoption applies ,

the backstress components must be given in the local system (“Orientations,” Section2.2.5 of the

ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual).

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to deﬁne the hardening parameters in various elements or

element sets. The hardening parameters must be deﬁned at all section points within an element.

Data lines for TYPE=INITIAL GAP:

First line:

1. Elementnum beror elem ent set label.

Repeat this data line as often as necessary to identify various elementsor element sets.

Data lines for TYPE=MASS FLOW RATE:

First line:

1. Nodeset or node number.
