- execute_onTIMESTEP_ENDThe list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
Default:TIMESTEP_END
C++ Type:ExecFlagEnum
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The list of flag(s) indicating when this object should be executed. For a description of each flag, see https://mooseframework.inl.gov/source/interfaces/SetupInterface.html.
- number_stepsTotal number of steps in the total time inteval (provided as total_time_interval).
C++ Type:unsigned int
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Total number of steps in the total time inteval (provided as total_time_interval).
- prop_getter_suffixAn optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
C++ Type:MaterialPropertyName
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:An optional suffix parameter that can be appended to any attempt to retrieve/get material properties. The suffix will be prepended with a '_' character.
- step_durationsThe durations of the steps. 'n' of step time intervals define 'n+1' steps starting at time equals zero.
C++ Type:std::vector<double>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The durations of the steps. 'n' of step time intervals define 'n+1' steps starting at time equals zero.
- step_start_timesThe beginning of step times. The number of steps is inferred from the number of times. One step is defined by its start time; and its end time is taken from the start time of the next step (if it exists). This list needs to be in ascending value order.
C++ Type:std::vector<double>
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The beginning of step times. The number of steps is inferred from the number of times. One step is defined by its start time; and its end time is taken from the start time of the next step (if it exists). This list needs to be in ascending value order.
- total_time_intervalThe total time interval in which the steps take place. This option needs to be used together with the 'number_steps'.
C++ Type:double
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:The total time interval in which the steps take place. This option needs to be used together with the 'number_steps'.
- use_interpolated_stateFalseFor the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:For the old and older state use projected material properties interpolated at the quadrature points. To set up projection use the ProjectedStatefulMaterialStorageAction.
StepUserObject
Maps the time steps and the load step simulation times. It can be used in either direction depending on the simulation setup
Description
StepUserObject is a general user object that performs basic computations to provide a loading step given a simulation time step value or a simulation time step value given a loading step. This user object is used to interface with AbaqusUMATStress and AbaqusUExternalDB to provide step information to user routines. StepUserObject can also interface with StepPeriod to enable/disable boundary conditions and constraints according the user-defined loading steps.

Default:False
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:In the case where this UserObject is depended upon by an initial condition, allow it to be executed twice during the initial setup (once before the IC and again after mesh adaptivity (if applicable).
- control_tagsAdds user-defined labels for accessing object parameters via control logic.
C++ Type:std::vector<std::string>

- enableTrueSet the enabled status of the MooseObject.
Default:True
C++ Type:bool
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:Yes
Description:Set the enabled status of the MooseObject.
- execution_order_group0Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.
Default:0
C++ Type:int
Unit:(no unit assumed)
Controllable:No
Description:Execution order groups are executed in increasing order (e.g., the lowest number is executed first). Note that negative group numbers may be used to execute groups before the default (0) group. Please refer to the user object documentation for ordering of user object execution within a group.
- force_postauxFalseForces the UserObject to be executed in POSTAUX
Default:False
C++ Type:bool
