MATT2

MATT2 – Anisotropic Material Temperature Dependence

Specifies temperature-dependent material properties on MAT2 entry fields via TABLEMj entries.

Field	Contents
MID	Material property identification number that matches the identification number on a MAT2 entry. (Integer > 0)
T(Gij)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the terms in the material property matrix. (Integer > 0 or blank)
T(RHO)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the mass density. (Integer > 0 or blank)
T(Ai)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the thermal expansion coefficient. (Integer or blank)
T(GE)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the damping coefficient. (Integer > 0 or blank)
T(ST)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the tension stress limit. (Integer > 0 or blank)
T(SC)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the compression limit. (Integer > 0 or blank)
T(SS)	Identification number of a TABLEMk entry for the shear limit. (Integer > 0 or blank)

Fields 3, 4, etc. of this entry correspond, field-by-field, to fields 3, 4, etc. of the MAT2 entry referenced in field 2. The value in a particular field of the MAT2 entry is replaced or modified by the table referenced in the corresponding field of this entry. In the example shown, G11 is modified by TABLEMk 32; G33 is modified by TABLEMk 15; and A1 is modified by TABLEMk 62. If Ri is zero or blank, there is no temperature dependence of the field on the MAT2 entry.
The MATT2 entries may refer to blank entries on the respective MAT2 card. In which case, they will be applied to default values of respective parameters.
