Default = 1.0 (Real > 0.0)

Comments

  1. MATARU must be used together with 3D interface elements CIFHEX/CIFPEN and cohesive element property PCOHE.
  2. Material response is similar to MCOHED up to yield and then differs according to the failure model defined.
  3. Adhesive thickness direction is assumed to be elemental Z- or element thickness direction.
