The RateDependent object defines a rate-dependent viscoplastic model.

Required argument
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of rate-dependent data. Possible values are POWER_LAW, YIELD_RATIO, and JOHNSON_COOK. The default value is POWER_LAW.
A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.
An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.
Table data
If type=POWER_LAW, the table data specify the following:
.
.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Yield stress ratio, 
.
Equivalent plastic strain rate, 
.
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.

Return value
A RateDependent object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
This method modifies the RateDependent object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the RateDependent method.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError.
The RateDependent object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the RateDependent method.
