MinMax

This command is used to construct a MinMax material object. This stress-strain behaviour for this material is provided by another material. If however the strain ever falls below or above certain threshold values, the other material is assumed to have failed. From that point on, values of 0.0 are returned for the tangent and stress.

uniaxialMaterial MinMax $matTag $otherTag <-min

matTag

integer tag identifying material

otherTag

tag of the other material

minStrain

minimum value of strain. optional default = -1.0e16.

maxStrain

max value of strain. optional default = 1.0e16.
