Stress versus Strain Curve CSV Format

CSV file format for defining stress-strain curves.

CSV file format fields

The format of the file has a header "strain, stress" and corresponding row of values. If the data is true stress-strain, add [true] to the end of the header row:

stress, strain, [true]

The data will be converted to engineering stress-strain as the CSV file is read in.
