This section is only present in the Layered Shell interface, where it is described in the documentation for the Linear Elastic Material node. The way the Linear Elastic Material node interacts with material definitions differ significantly between the Layered Shell interface and the other physics interfaces.
|
•
|
Isotropic for a material that has the same properties in all directions.
|
•
|
Orthotropic for a material that has different material properties in orthogonal directions. It is also possible to define Transversely isotropic material properties.
|
•
|
Anisotropic for a material that has different material properties in different directions.
|
•
|
Crystal for a material that has certain crystal symmetry.
|
In the Layered Shell interface, the chosen material symmetry applies to all selected layers, irrespective of whether the material data is entered explicitly as User defined in the Linear Elastic Material node, or is obtained from a Layered Material node using the default From material option.

Shear-wave speed (transverse wave speed) cs. This is the wave speed for a solid continuum. In plane stress, for example, the actual speed with which a longitudinal wave travels is lower than the value given.
|
The Poisson’s ratio νij are defined differently depending on the application field. It is easy to transform among definitions, check which one the reference material uses.

With the default From study step, a total Lagrangian formulation for large strains is used when the Include geometric nonlinearity check box is selected in the study step. If the check box is not selected, the formulation is geometrically linear, with a small strain formulation.
|
•
|
When Automatic is selected, a multiplicative or additive decomposition is used with a total Lagrangian formulation, depending on the Include geometric nonlinearity check box status in the study step.
|
•
|
Select Additive to force an additive decomposition of strains.
|
•
|
Select Multiplicative to force a multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradients. This option is only visible if Formulation is set to Total Lagrangian.
