Definitions
| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example |
|---|---|---|
| MID | Material identification number of a
MAT4 Bulk Data Entry that is temperature
dependent. No default (Integer > 0) |
|
| T( ρ ) | Identification number of a
TABLEMi or TABLEG
entry that defines temperature-dependent electrical resistivity.
Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0) |
|
| T(JH) | Identification number of a
TABLEMi or TABLEG
entry that defines temperature-dependent Joule heating fraction.
Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0) |
Comments
- The quantities defined on the MAT1EC Bulk Data Entry are multiplied by the tabular function referenced by the MATT1EC Bulk Data card to generate the corresponding material properties.
- For temperature-dependent material table lookup for an element with different temperatures at each node, the average temperature of all nodes of the element is considered as reference temperature for table lookup for that particular element.
- If the fields are blank or zero, constant properties defined on the MAT1EC Bulk Data card are used.
