Figure D-58New description for Poisson's Ratio
Sometimes you may wish to find where a particular input or formula is
used in the method. For example, how is the Poisson's Ratio input used
in this method? There is an efficient way to do this:
Save the method.
1
Highlight the input Poissons Ratio in the Settings pane.
2
Right-click the selection.
3
Select Delete from the resulting pop-up menu.
4
This produces an error in the
Double-click on the error message, which takes you directly to the
5
point where the method requires this input.
To see exactly how the input is used in this case, click the Formula
6
tab.
Close the current method by opening any other method.
7
When asked if you want to save changes to the current method, click
8
No.
Create a channel that calculates strain rate, defined as displacement rate
divided by displacement. For some materials, the imposed strain rate
may affect the measured hardness, so it would be nice to keep track of
this parameter. Also, open another previously tested sample and import
it into the modified method.
