******************************** **Number of Viscoelastic Modes** ******************************** :: Number of viscoelastic modes = ----------------------- **Description / Usage** ----------------------- This card is required only if you are performing a viscoelastic simulation and have included stress equations in the equation section and chosen a viscoelastic constitutive equation in the material file. The integer value denotes how many viscoelastic tensor stress equations are to be used. The number of modes can vary from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 8. The input parameter is defined as ========= ==================================================================== The number of viscoelastic modes, which must be greater than zero, but less than nine. ========= ==================================================================== ------------ **Examples** ------------ The following is a sample card, indicating that a calculation with two viscoelastic stress modes is being undertaken: :: Number of viscoelastic modes = 2 ------------------------- **Technical Discussion** ------------------------- No Discussion. -------------- **References** -------------- Please see the viscoelastic tutorial memo for a discussion of multimode viscoelastic equations: GT-014.1: Tutorial for Running Viscoelastic Flow Problems with GOMA, June 21, 2000, R.
