Viscoelastic properties

[yanger11]

I am trying to run a viscoelastic model. Is there a method that allows for tranversely isotrpoic viscoelastic material properties. I am able to run isotropic elastic but I cannot run the trans. iso. viscoelastic

Yanger,

If memory serves me correctly, in order to model a transversely isotropic material in Abaqus, you need to use the orthotropic material model and modify the coefficients accordingly to suit your transverse isotropy.
