Materials
Material definition.
- Linear isotropic material for shell and solid elements: MAT1
- Linear orthotropic material for shell elements: MAT8
- Linear orthotropic material for solid elements: MAT9OR
- Linear anisotropic material for solid elements: MAT9
- Nonlinear isotropic/orthotropic/anisotropic material: See Multiscale Designer
Materials can be created from the Model Browser or Materials pull-down menu. Specific solver cards and attributes can be set in the Entity Editor.
