tbpt

DataTables.tbpt(oper='', x1='', x2='', x3='', xn='', **kwargs)

Defines a point on a nonlinear data curve.

Mechanical APDL Command: TBPT

Parameters:

operstr

Operation to perform:

• DEFI - Defines a new data point (default). The point is inserted into the table in ascending order of X1. If a point already exists with the same X1 value, it is replaced.

• DELE - Deletes an existing point. The X1 value must match the X1 value of the point to be deleted ( XN is ignored).

x1str

The N components of the point. N depends on the type of data table. Except for tb,EXPE all other tb Tables support only 2 components.

x2str

The N components of the point. N depends on the type of data table. Except for tb,EXPE all other tb Tables support only 2 components.

x3str

The N components of the point. N depends on the type of data table. Except for tb,EXPE all other tb Tables support only 2 components.

xnstr

The N components of the point. N depends on the type of data table. Except for tb,EXPE all other tb Tables support only 2 components.

Notes

tbpt defines a point on a nonlinear data curve (such as a stress-strain curve, B-H curve, etc.) at the temperature specified on the last tbtemp command. The meaning of the values depends on the type of data table specified on the last tb command.

This command is also valid in SOLUTION.
