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>

matTag

integer tag identifying material

$Ex, $Ey, \(Ez</strong></p></td> <td><p>elastic modulii in three mutually perpendicular directions (x, y, and z)</p></td> </tr> <tr class="odd"> <td><p><strong>\)vxy, $vyz, \(vzx</strong></p></td> <td><p>Poisson's ratios</p></td> </tr> <tr class="even"> <td><p><strong>\)Gxy, $Gyz, $Gzx

shear modulii

rho

mass density, optional default = 0.0.

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