Comments
- This keyword maps to /MAT/LAW36 (PLAS_TAB) when stress strain curves are specified using LCSS or EPS and ES. If SIGY, ETAN, C, and P are used, then it maps to /MAT/LAW44 (COWPER).
- This material is only compatible with truss elements only when plasticity is specified through SIGY and ETAN.
- The option “_TITLE” can be added to the end of this keyword. When “_TITLE” is included, an extra 80 characters long line is added after the keyword input line which allows an entity title to be defined.
