Peridynamic elasto-plastic damage model for ion-irradiated materials

The HDF5 file serves as a comprehensive container for storing the results of a peridynamic simulation, encompassing data such as the displacement field and force field. Within this file, there is also the definition of initial conditions, including the velocity field of the indenter, which provides insight into the dynamics of the simulation's initiation. Additionally, the HDF5 file encapsulates crucial information regarding displacement boundary conditions applied to the unit box, essential for understanding the constraints imposed on the simulation environment. This file structure enables efficient organization and retrieval of data, facilitating thorough analysis and interpretation of the peridynamic simulation results.The Python script for Abaqus provides a step-by-step definition of the model, enabling automation and parametric studies. It contains definitions for geometry, material properties, boundary conditions, loads, and analysis steps. By scripting these processes, users can automate model creation, allowing for efficient iteration and exploration of various design scenarios. Additionally, the script's parameterization capabilities enable running multiple simulations and verifying the impact of parameters on the model's behavior.---JNL is proprietary format used by commercial Abaqus software developed by Simulia Corp. The file itself is written in Python programming laguage and can be viewed with any text editor, the script will, however, not work without Abaqus software in any place that depends on "abaqus" module.
