How to include anisotropic material properties to a blank (sheet material) in hyperform? if it so what are the material parameters required? plz do share ur valuable comments
I have not tried the software you mentioned. But during my research, I use ANSYS workbench frequently, where the definition of PZTs, which is also an anisotropic material, could be realized conveniently through an extension module. For such sort of material, you may need to define a matrix. You can look up in the 'help' document provided by the ANSYS company.
You can define anisotropic material properties by defining elastic moduli or stiffness matrix. No. of independent elastic constants (material parameters) depend on the heterogeneity in your model 2D or 3D.
