8.1. Valid Material Model Combinations

The following table presents the material models that you can combine along with the associated TB command labels. If a material model does not appear in the table, it cannot be combined with another material model unless specifically noted elsewhere.

Generalized Damage and Ductile Models (see Table 8.1: Material Combinations for Damage Models)    

[a] Combining the porous elasticity model (TB,PELAS) with the EDP Cap model (TB,EDP,,,,CYFUN or TB,EDP,,,,CFPOT) is not supported.

Following are links to other sections in the documentation that provide descriptions of the individual material model options represented in the table:

The following table provides the materials combinations for all supported damage models:
