PLSOLID (Nonlinear Large Strain Solid Element Property)

Description

Defines a nonlinear large strain solid element property (CHEXA, CPENTA, and CTETRA elements only).

Format

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
PLSOLID PID MID MCID

Example

PLSOLID 2 100 6
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 Remark 3. Integer -1 or blank See Remark 3

Remarks

  1. PSOLID entries must have unique identification numbers.
  2. Isotropic (MAT1), orthotropic (MAT8), hyperleastic (MATHP, MATHP1), or hyperfoam (MATHPF) material properties may be referenced.
  3. See the CHEXA, CPENTA, 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 global coordinate system (-1 or blank). The default for MCID is the global coordinate system.
