Card Image
A predefined type which describes the general form of the element that the property can be applied to. The property type is chosen from the Card Image drop-down menu.
Note: The property type determines the property parameters so the Input button remains inactive until a property type is selected.
Material
Assign material models to the property. The number of materials required depends on the element cross-section. For example, a layered cross-section can contain up to four materials. In these cases, you must enter a material in the first data cell. A material may be chosen from the drop-down menus located in the material field. These lists contain all predefined models which apply to the current property type.

Options based on the Card Image type selected.
