ID Each VISCO Bulk Data card must have a unique ID.

No default (Integer > 0)

 
CETOL Tolerance for viscoelastic time integration. Ensures that the viscoelastic/creep strain increment is controlled by the specified tolerance.

If not specified or zero, fixed time integration will be used.

No default (Real ≥ 0)

 

Comments

  1. The VISCO Bulk Data entry can be referenced in the subcase section to specify if viscoelasticity/creep analysis will be activated in that subcase.
