!ELASTIC

Definition of an elastic material

Parameters

TYPE = ISOTROPIC (Default) / ORTHOTROPIC / USER
DEPENDENCIES = 0 (Default) / 1
INFINITESIMAL    If specified, the small-deformation assumption is applied

** 2nd and subsequent lines **

When TYPE = ISOTROPIC

(2nd line) YOUNGS, POISSION, Temperature

Variable name Attribute Description
YOUNGS   R Young's modulus
POISSON R Poisson's ratio
Temperature R Temperature (required when DEPENDENCIES=1)

When TYPE= ORTHOTROPIC

Note: When using TYPE=ORTHOTROPIC, a local coordinate system must be specified for the corresponding !SECTION with the ORIENTATION= parameter. If ORIENTATION= is omitted, the solver terminates abnormally at runtime.
