    This object can be accessed by:

    .. code-block:: python

        import material

        session.odbs[name].materials[name].gapFlow

    The table data for this object are:
    
    - If *type*=NEWTONIAN the table data specify the following:
        - Pore viscosity.
        - 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.
    - If *type*=POWER_LAW the table data specify the following:
        - Consistency.
        - Exponent.
        - 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.
    - If *type*=BINGHAM_PLASTIC the table data specify the following:
        - Consistency.
        - Yield stress.
        - 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.
    - If *type*=HERSCHEL-BULKLEY the table data specify the following:
        - Consistency.
        - Exponent.
        - Yield stress.
        - Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
        - Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.

        Parameters
        ----------
        table
            A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below. 
        kmax
            None or a Float specifying the maximum permeability value that should be used. If 
            *kmax*=None, Abaqus assumes that the permeability is not bounded. This value is 
            meaningful only when *type*=NEWTONIAN. The default value is None. 
        temperatureDependency
            A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF. 
        dependencies
            An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0. 
        type
            A SymbolicConstant specifying the type of gap flow. Possible values are NEWTONIAN, 
            POWER_LAW, BINGHAM_PLASTIC, and HERSCHEL-BULKLEY. The default value is NEWTONIAN. 

        Returns
        -------
            A GapFlow object.
