Nonlinear Large Strain Solid Element Property
Description: Defines a nonlinear large strain solid element property (CHEXA, CPENTA, CPYRA, and CTETRA elements only).
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| PID | Property identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| MID | Identification number of a MAT1, MAT9, MAT12, MATHP, or MATHP1 entry. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| MCID | Identification number of the material coordinate system. See Remarks 3 and 4. | Integer ≥ -1 or blank | See Remark 3 |
Remarks:
- PLSOLID entries must have unique identification numbers.
- Isotropic (MAT1), anisotropic (MAT9), or orthotropic (MAT12) material properties may be referenced.
- See the CHEXA, CPENTA, CPYRA, or CTETRA entry for the definition of the element coordinate system. The material coordinate system (MCID) may be the basic system (0), any defined system (Integer > 0), or the element coordinate system (-1 or blank). The default for MCID is the element coordinate system.
- If MID references a MAT9 entry, then MCID defines the material property coordinate system for Gij on the MAT9 entry. If MID references a MAT12 entry, then MCID defines the material property coordinate system for the Ei, Gi, and NUij on the MAT12 entry.
