Material Properties Data Records

  A Material Properties Data Set is denoted by a `KEY' of 20 in the data set header record. Only Isotropic material properties are defined. For both types there is a header of the form:

KEY, TYPE, NSC, NLC, ID, YMOD, PRATIO, THERMAL, DENSITY

To be written with the format:

FORMAT(1X, 4I2, I5, 4E12.5)

Where:


KEY = -1 for a data header record
= -3 for the data set delimiter record which is an
otherwise blank record inserted at the end of the data set.
TYPE = 1 for Isotropic materials
NSC = 0
NLC = 0
ID = material type identification number.
YMOD = Young's Modulus
PRATIO = Poisson's Ratio
THERMAL = linear coefficient of expansion
DENSITY = density
