T(A) A TABLEMi or TABLEG entry identification number for the parameter A.

(Integer ≥ 0 or blank)

 
T(n) A TABLEMi or TABLEG entry identification number for the parameter n.

Comments

  1. The value in a particular field of the MATVP Bulk Data Entry is replaced (if TABLEM1 or TABLEG is used) or modified (if TABLEM2/3/4 is used) by the table referenced in the corresponding field of this entry.
  2. 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.
  3. If the fields are blank or zero, then constant properties defined on the MATVP Bulk Data card are used.
