Input Data Description
Units Choose Stress to define stiffness in terms of stress per unit displacement or Force to define stiffness in terms of force per unit displacement or force per unit length per unit displacement, depending on the element type to which this behavior refers.
Shear Stiffness Specify the shear stiffness.
Use temperature-dependent data Specifies material parameters that depend on temperature. A Temperature field appears in the data table. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
Number of field variables Specify material parameters that depend on field variables. Field columns appear in the data table for each field variable you add. For more information, see Specifying Material Data as a Function of Temperature and Independent Field Variables.
