matstr

Material reference number to be associated with the elements (defaults to 1 if you specify zero or no material number).

slocstr

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c1str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c2str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c3str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c4str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c5str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

c6str

Property data values assigned to six locations starting with SLOC. If a value is already in this location, it is redefined. A blank (or zero) value for C1 resets the previous value in SLOC to zero. A value of zero can only be assigned by C1. Blank (or zero) values for C2 to C6 leave the corresponding previous values unchanged.

Notes

Defines a table of property data to be associated with the temperature table. Repeat mpdata command for additional values (100 maximum). Temperatures must be defined first ( mptemp ). Also stores assembled property function table (temperature and data) in virtual space.

This command is also valid in SOLUTION.
