JOINT ELASTICITY: Specif y elastic properties for elastic-pla stic joint elements.
This option is used to define linear elastic moduli for elastic-plastic joint elements . It can be used only in
conjunction with the
*
EPJOINT option.

Type: Model data
Level: Part, Part instance

Required parameters:
MODULI
Set MODULI=SPUD CAN to define spud can moduli. Set MODULI=GENERAL to enter a general
elastic modulus.
NDIM
Set NDIM=2 to enter values for a two-dimensional problem. Set NDIM=3 to enter values for a
three-dimensional problem.
Optional parameter:
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variable d ependencies included in the definition
of the moduli. If this param eter is omitted, it is assumed that the moduli are constant or depend
only on temperature. See “Specifying field variable dependence” in “Material data definition,”
Section 16.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, for more information.
