Comments
- The EL2MAT Bulk Data Entry can be used to assign Material ID’s to Element sets.
- The ID field is only used by HyperMesh. When ECHO entry is present in the model, all EL2MAT entries are combined into one EL2MAT entry with an internally generated ID. The ID of the EL2MAT entries are not used in OptiStruct.
