3.5.8. CREATE-MATERIAL function
optional
Description
This function is used to define a new material on the model. Currently, only elastic-isotropic materials can be defined.
A density value is always required when defining a material, even though you are going to perform static analysis only.

ELASTIC-ISOTROPIC branch
optional unique
This branch is used to define an isotropic material.

Examples
In this example we are defining 2 materials (STEEL and ALU).
CREATE-MATERIAL MODEL: MY_MODEL NAME: STEEL ELASTIC-ISOTROPIC E: 200. NU: 0.33 DENSITY: 8.E3 CREATE-MATERIAL MODEL: MY_MODEL NAME: ALU ELASTIC-ISOTROPIC E: 70. NU: 0.33 DENSITY: 2.7E3
