Field

Contents

PID

Unique solid element property identification number.

No default (Integer > 0)

MID

Identification number of a MAT1 or MAT9 entry.

No default (Integer > 0)

CORDM

MID of material coordinate system. The default is 0, which is the basic coordinate system.

Default = 0 (Integer > -1)

DS

Design switch. If non-zero, the elements associated with this PSOLID data are included in the topology design volume or space.

Default = blank (Integer or blank)

Comments

  1. All solid element property entries must have unique ID numbers.

  2. Stresses are output in the material coordinate system. The material coordinate system may be defined as the basic coordinate system (CORDM = 0), a defined system (CORDM = Integer > 0), or the element coordinate system (CORDM = -1). Please refer to the CHEXA, CPENTA, CPYRA and CTETRA pages of the reference guide for details on how the material coordinate system is defined for each element.

  3. If the material referenced by MID is a MAT9 material definition, then CORDM defines the material coordinate system for Gij on the MAT9 entry.
