Elastic Isotropic Material

This command is used to construct an ElasticIsotropic material object.

nDMaterial ElasticIsotropic $matTag $E $v

$matTag

unique material object integer tag

$E

elastic Modulus

$v

Poisson's ratio

The material formulations for the ElasticIsotropic object are "ThreeDimensional," "PlaneStrain," "Plane Stress," "AxiSymmetric," and "PlateFiber." These are the valid strings that can be passed to the continuum elements (Bbar Brick Element, Bbar Plane Strain Quadrilateral Element, Enhanced Strain Quadrilateral Element, Quad Element, Shell Element, Standard Brick Element) for the type parameter.
