Comments

  1. This keyword maps to /MAT/LAW19 (FABRI) (linear orthotropic) or /MAT/LAW58 (FABR_A) (anisotropic).
  2. Loading and unloading curves should build a closed loop.
  3. The option “_TITLE” can be added to the end of this keyword. When “_TITLE” is included, an extra 80 characters long line is added after the keyword input line which allows an entity title to be defined.
