Hello,

I am currently trying to define a new material in Ansys using experimental data from tension, creep, and stress relaxation tests in the engineering materials section. However, I am unsure how to do so. I have looked through the creep, viscoelastic, and viscoelastic test data options, but I am still stumped on how to input my data. Some of the options ask for shear data, but all of the experimental data was done using tension based tests in my university's lab. The tables from my experimental data excel sheets below show the variables I am currently working with and wish to input for their respective use. I am still rather new to Ansys (coming from Femap) so I am still learning as I go. If someone could tell me how to correctly input my data to define my material, that would be much appreciated.

Hi,

Please see if the following post helps: creep analysis_ benchmark the data (ansys.com)
