Ogden Foam Curve Fitting

…Ogden Foam Curve Fitting

To include lateral strain data in curve fit, be sure to add ‘/USEL,1’ at
beginning of txt file containing lateral strain data. Otherwise, it is ignored in
the curve fitting routine.

Use APDL commands to fit a 4th
order Ogden foam Material
Model. GUI only supports 3rd
Order.
Note: Default Initialized
coefficients of “1” also give a good
fit. These customized initial values
offer a slight improvement.
‘CFIT’ commands at end will list
out the fitted datapoints in tabular
form in solver output.
Refer to APDL Commands Manual
for command syntax details.
