Purpose

To specify standard material properties to be used in DNV and API code checking.

Theory

Refer to Code Checking for further information on this feature.

Keyword Format

A block of two lines defining the material name and its associated properties. The block may be repeated as often as necessary to define all the required materials.

NAME=Material Name

SMYS, SMTS, Young’s Modulus, Fy temp, Fu temp [, Alpha U] [, Poisson’s Ratio]

 

Alpha U and Poisson’s Ratio default to 0.96 and 0.3 respectively.

Material Table INPUT

Input:

Description

Material Name:

The name of the material.

SMYS:

The Specified Minimum Yield Strength for the material.

SMTS:

The Specified Minimum Tensile Strength for the material.

Young’s Modulus:

Young’s modulus for the material.

Fy Temp:

The temperature derating factor for the yield stress (Fy,temp) as per the relevant DNV standard.

Fu Temp:

The temperature derating factor for the tensile stress (Fu,temp) as per the relevant DNV standard.

Alpha U:

The material strength factor (αu) as per the relevant DNV standard. This value defaults to 0.96 if not specified.

Poisson’s Ratio:

Poisson’s ratio for the material. This value defaults to 0.3 if not specified.
