While the *MAT252 card does not support DoC-values on the history variables, it does support writing out four other history variables. If these are computed properly based on the DoC-values, they achieve the desired scaling of the material properties in the LS-DYNA application. The overall procedure is described below, while the corresponding commands are given in Output: Initial Stress Cards.
Read in the DoC-values stored as history variables at the integration points in the *INITIAL_STRESS_SOLID cards.
For every integration point, the four equations below and depicted in their respective figures are evaluated, where
denotes the degree of cure. Furthermore, 
refers to a gel point above which the solidification of the
material begins. Both and the remaining five parameters (
, 
, 
, 
, and 
) are set for achieving the required characteristic
curves.For every element, write out *INITIAL_STRESS_SOLID cards containing the new history variables (
, 
, 
, and 
) at the integration points.
The following table contains the visualization of the curves given in their equations,
using these parameters:

, 
,
