The following article describes the use of the material.uniElastic command. This command defines a uniaxial elastic material.

[edit] Syntax

material.uniElastic(id,E,|nu,|rho,|aT)

where

Parameter	description	type	default
id	The material id	integer	-
E	Young's modulus	float	-
nu	Poisson's ratio	float	0.
rho	density	float	0.
aT	thermal coefficient	float	0.

Create a uniaxial elastic material for a bar element.

 material.uniElastic(2, 1000.)

Create a uniaxial elastic material for a Timoshenko beam element.

 material.uniElastic(4, 1000., 0.25, 25., 1e-4)
