Parameters

Name
Type: SystemString
The name of an existing steel material property.
Fy
Type: SystemDouble
Fu
Type: SystemDouble
The minimum tensile stress. [F/L2]
EFy
Type: SystemDouble
EFu
Type: SystemDouble
SSType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0 or 1, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSType
0User defined
1Parametric - Simple
SSHysType
Type: SystemInt32
This is 0 through 7, indicating the stress-strain curve type.
ValueSSHysType
0Elastic
1Kinematic
2Takeda
3Pivot
4Concrete
5BRB Hardening
6Degrading
7Isotropic
StrainAtHardening
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used. It is the strain at the onset of strain hardening.
StrainAtMaxStress
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used. It is the strain at maximum stress. This item must be larger than the StrainAtHardening item.
StrainAtRupture
Type: SystemDouble
This item applies only when parametric stress-strain curves are used. It is the strain at rupture. This item must be larger than the StrainAtMaxStress item.
Temp (Optional)
Type: SystemDouble
The temperature at which the specified data applies. The temperature must have been defined previously for the material.

This item applies only if the specified material has properties that are temperature dependent. That is, it applies only if properties are specified for the material at more than one temperature.

Return Value

Type: Int32
Returns zero if the data is successfully assigned; otherwise it returns a nonzero value.
