(Refer to "Material")

 

Refer to Usage of Table Tool to enter or modify the following data:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ID: Material number

 

Name: Material name

 

Type: Material type

 

Code: Standard material specifications

 

Code Name: Specific material specifications

 

Elasticity (Force/Area): Modulus of Elasticity

 

Poisson: Poisson's ratio

 

Thermal(1/[T] ): Thermal expansion coefficient

 

Density (Force/Length3): Weight per unit volume

 

Sp. Heat (BTU/Force·[T] ): The ratio of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a body 1° to the thermal energy

required to raise an equal mass of water 1°

 

Heat Conduction (BTU/Length·Time·[T]: Conduction Coefficient

 

The property of a material to conduct heat in the form of thermal energy.

 

Conduction is the process by which heat flows within a medium or between different mediums in direct contact. The energy is

transmitted by molecular communication.

 

Material Type: Select Isotropic or Orthotropic material type.

 

Note1
If SRC materials
are entered, RC data are saved in the Code2 and Code Name 2 fields.

Note2
When Orthotropic is selected as User Defined material type, (Shear Mod_xy, _yz, _xz), (Elastic_y, Elastic_z), (Poission_xy, Poassion_yz) and (Thermal_y, Thermal_z) can be separately defined in y & z direction of Element Coordinate System.
