Supported Properties

The supported material properties are defined by the analysis systems that contain or share the Engineering Data cell. If filtering is active (see Filtering Data), only the supported material properties are displayed. See the list of material properties supported by a given analysis system in the following sections. The minimum material properties required for a given analysis are marked with an asterisk (*). Select the link to read more information about a particular property.

Also note that material property listings in the following sections are appended when field variable support is available. Field variable dependency types include :

  • f(T): Temperature

  • f(C): Coordinate

  • f(F): Frequency

  • f(D): Displacement

  • f(H): Time History

  • f(U): User-defined field variable dependency.

  • f(R): Stress ratio

Note that materials can support multiple field variables, for example, Hill Yield, f(T, C, D, H, U).

Note that field variable dependent data cannot be used in the solution process if it is out of scope of the analysis type. For example, if a frequency-dependent density property is defined under Static Structural Analysis, the corresponding MAPDL command is generated by calculating the density at the frequencies default value (defined on the material).
