Materialpoint Configuration

The materialpoint model in DAMASK is configured via a YAML file. This mandatory file needs to be specified with the --material flag when using the DAMASK grid or mesh solvers, or located in the current working directory and named material.yaml to be included in a simulation with MSC Marc. Using damask.ConfigMaterial is the recommended way for the generation and modification of material configurations. Hand-written files should be checked for correctness, e.g. with yamllint or on www.yamllint.com.

Note

The YAML parser used in DAMASK does not support advanced features, such as references and line continuation statements, unless DAMASK was compiled with libfyaml.

All values in in the configuration file are defined in SI units. A complete configuration file contains three top-level entries with the following keys:

• homogenization
• phase
• material
