Subject: Creep, Primary+Secondary
Author: Ian Stewart rabet@

Hi,

I am doing a creep analysis but I have faced a big problem!

First, I have chosen Explicit Creep (told to do it this way).
I have to do the creep analysis for the primary creep + secondary creep.

In other words, my model, obeys a primary creep equation for the
"Primary Creep Region", and following that, obeys a secondary creep
equation for the "Secondary Creep Region".

From my previous posts for help, I had found that I can apply both
Primary and Secondary equations at once.
I have entered Primary Creep Eq. with C6=1 and Secondary Creep Eq. with
C12=1 this way:
In /prep7:

tb,creep,1
tbdata, 1, 1/2*6.83e-54, 6.2, -1/2, , , 1
tbdata,7, 9.9e-56, 6.2, 0, 0, 0, 1

Would you please tell me what's wrong with this definition? The results
which I obtain with the above Creep Definition (for the desired primary
+secondary effect),are the same results which I get from JUST the
Primary Creep! In other words, it seems to me that the second equation
has no effect!

Please help me.
