Materials
Material entities define and store material definitions for a model.
Materials do not have a display state in the modeling window. You can color the model according to the colors assigned to each material, which is based on element material relationships, by changing the color mode to material.
Element material relationships are dependent on the solver interface. In general, when a component is assigned a material, that material assignment is applied to all elements collected by that component. The method of assigning materials at the component level is therefore referred to as indirect material assignment. Direct material assignment is performed directly on the elements themselves, typically via a property assignment. Direct material assignments always take precedence over indirect property and material assignments.
Abaqus Cards
The material keywords *MATERIAL, *GASKET MATERIAL, and *CONNECTOR BEHAVIOR are supported in the ABAQUS_MATERIAL, GASKET_MATERIAL and CONNECTOR_BEHAVIOR card images, respectively.
Abaqus has a large selection of material types, many of which are not supported. In the Abaqus solver interface, material cards can be imported as generic materials. Generic materials are assigned the GENERIC_MATERIAL card image, and all material sub-options, parameters, and data lines are imported as simple text.
The validity or syntax of data is not checked when material cards are imported as generic materials. You must manually check the validity of the data. This method is helpful when material models are already defined, and are imported for the purpose of adding them to the corresponding sectional properties. No editing, updating, or review of the material data is intended.
The Generic Material setting can be enabled in the File Options dialog, that opens when you import a solver deck. You can also add an **HM_GENERIC_MATERIAL comment before a material card to have it imported as a generic material.
User comments blocks are supported for all materials. These comments are preserved during import and export of the Abaqus solver deck.

Radioss Cards
Radioss allows you to program your own materials that can be used in a simulation. Unsupported Radioss materials and user defined Radioss materials are assigned the MAT_UNSUPPORTED card image.
HyperMesh imports unsupported materials with the MAT_UNSUPPORTED card image, and preserves their corresponding IDs and associated components.
In the MAT_UNSUPPORTED card image, all material sub-options, parameters, and data lines are supported as simple text. HyperMesh does not check the validity or syntax of any data in this mode. You must manually check the validity of the data. No editing, updating, or review of the material data is intended. Also time step calculation and mass calculation are not available for the component that refers to this material.

| /MAT/LAW78 | This law is the Yoshida-Uemori model for describing
the large-strain cyclic plasticity of metals. The law is based on the framework of
two surfaces theory: the yielding surface and the bounding surface. During the
plastic deformation, a yield surface will move within the bounding surface and will
never change its size, and the bounding surface can change both in size and
location. The plastic-strain dependency of the Young's modulus and the
work-hardening stagnation effect are also taken into account. Concerning SPH, it is
