Comments
- Fields 3, 4, and so on of this entry correspond, field-by-field, to fields 3, 4, and so on of the MAT3 entry referenced in field 2. The value in a particular field of the MAT3 entry is replaced or modified by the table referenced in the corresponding field of this entry. In the example, EX is modified; TABLEDi 32, RHO is modified by TABLEDi 19; and GE is modified by TABLEDi 52.
 - Blank or zero entries mean that there is no frequency dependence of the field on the MAT3 entry. Any quantity modified by this entry must have a value on the MAT3 entry.
 - In Modal Frequency Response Analysis, the frequency-dependency is only used in the frequency response part of the solution, not in the modal analysis part of the solution.
 - OptiStruct accepts both MATF3 and MAT3F for this entry.
 - A matching TABLEDi ID is checked first, and if no such entry exists, then a TABLEMi ID match is checked. If a matching table ID does not exist for both entries, the run errors out.
