Comments

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. OptiStruct accepts both MATF3 and MAT3F for this entry.
  5. 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.
  6. This card is represented as a material in HyperMesh.
