Remarks:

  1. 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.
  2. Fields 3, 4, etc., of this entry correspond, one-by-one, to fields 3, 4, etc., of the MAT12 entry referenced in field 2. The value in a particular field of the MAT12 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 MAT12 entry.
  3. Any quantity modified by this entry must have a value on the MAT12 entry.
  4. Table references must be present for each item that is temperature-dependent.
