MAT1 MID E G NU RHO A TREF GE

Fields

Field Contents
MID Material identification number. (Integer > 0)
E Young’s modulus. (Real ≥ 0.0 or blank)
G Shear modulus. (Real ≥ 0.0 or blank)
NU Poisson’s ratio. (-1.0 < Real ≤ 0.5 or blank)
RHO Mass density. (Real)
A Not used.
TREF Not used.
GE Not used.

REMARKS:

  1. E and G may not both be blank.
  2. NU must be defined if either E or G is blank.
  3. If only one E, G, or NU is blank, then it will be computed using the typical relationship.
