Ansys- scripting for defining material properties

Submitted by skavou1 on

Hi every one,

I am new in ansys and I have a problem,I will be glad if you help me find the solution for it. I want to model a poly crystalline material and I have some problems in defiing material properties. For each grain the material properties is a function of grain size. So for each grain I need to calculate grain volume and use that value to calculate the plastic flow stress and true strain. I want to write a script in ansys to calculate the volume of each grain, calculate the properties and assigh a material with that property to each grain. Can any one help me ?
