TBDATA

TBDATA, STLOC, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6
Defines data for the material data table.

Valid Products: Pro | Premium | Enterprise | PrepPost | Solver | AS add-on

STLOC

Starting location in table for entering data. For example, if STLOC = 1, data input in the C1 field applies to the first table constant, C2 applies to the second table constant, etc. If STLOC=5, data input in the C1 field applies to the fifth table constant, etc. Defaults to the last location filled + 1. The last location is reset to 1 with each TB, TBTEMP, or TBFIELD command.

C1, C2, C3, . . . , C6

Data values assigned to six locations starting with STLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank value leaves the existing value unchanged.

Notes

Defines data for the table specified via the most recent TB command (at the temperature specified via the most recent TBTEMP or TBFIELD command, if applicable).

The type of data table specified determines the number of data values needed in TBDATA. Data values are interpolated for temperatures or other specified field variables that fall between user-defined TBTEMP or TBFIELD values.

You can specify values for up to six constants per TBDATA command. Issue the command multiple times if needed.

Some elements (for example, SOLID226) support tabular input for some linear materials. For a list of elements supporting tabular material properties and associated primary variables, see Defining Linear Material Properties Using Tabular Input in the Material Reference.

This command is also valid in SOLUTION.
