3.1.7.2. Elastic Orthotropic Material

This command is used to construct an ElasticOrthotropic material object.

nDMaterial ElasticOrthotropic $matTag $Ex $Ey $Ez $vxy $vyz $vzx $Gxy $Gyz $Gzx <$rho>

Argument	Type	Description
$matTag	integer	unique tag identifying material
$Ex $Ey $Ez	3 float	elastic moduli in three mutually perpendicular directions
$vxy $vyz $vzx	3 float	Poisson’s ratios
$Gxy $Gyz $Gzx	3 float	shear moduli
$rho	float	mass density. optional default = 0.0

Note

The material formulations for the ElasticOrthotropic object are “ThreeDimensional”, “PlaneStrain”, “Plane Stress”, “AxiSymmetric”, “BeamFiber”, and “PlateFiber”.
