Solid Element Anisotropic Material Temperature Dependence
Description: Specifies temperature-dependent table references for MAT9 material properties. This entry is used if a MAT9 entry is specified with the same MID.
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| MID | Material property identification number that matches the MAT9 identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| T(Gij) | TABLEMi identification number for elements of the 6 x 6 symmetric material property matrix. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank | |
| T(RHO) | TABLEMi identification number for mass density. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank | |
| T(Ai) | TABLEMi identification number for thermal expansion coefficient. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank | |
| T(GE) | TABLEMi identification number for damping coefficient. | Integer ≥ 0 or blank |
Remarks:
- Temperature-dependent material properties are only calculated when a temperature distribution for materials is defined by using TEMPERATURE, TEMPERATURE(MATERIAL), or TEMPERATURE(BOTH) Case Control commands.
- Fields 3, 4, etc., of this entry correspond, one-by-one, to fields 3, 4, etc., of the MAT9 entry referenced in field 2. The value in a particular field of the MAT9 entry is replaced or modified by the table referenced in the corresponding field of this entry. A blank or zero entry means no temperature dependence of that field on the MAT9 entry.
- Any quantity modified by this entry must have a value on the MAT9 entry.
- Table references must be present for each item that is temperature-dependent.
