Lame LAMBDA

Lame LAMBDA = {yes | no}

Description / Usage

This option allows you to plot the Lame LAMDA mechanical property, which is written to the Output EXODUS II file as the variable LAMBDA. This is a useful feature for temperature dependent mechanical properties and the like. Contouring this variable LAMBDA over the domain can be useful in explaining some physical phenomena.

The permissible values for this postprocessing option are:

yes	Calculate the Lame LAMBDA and output as a nodal variable in the Output EXODUS II file.
no	Do not calculate the the coefficient (default).

Examples

The following sample card requests LAMBDA be written to the EXODUS II file:

Lame LAMBDA = yes
