3.1.6. nDMaterial Command

This command is used to construct an NDMaterial object which represents the stress-strain relationship at the gauss-point of a continuum element.

nDMaterial $matType $matTag $matArgs

Argument	Type	Description
$matType	string	material type
$matTag	integer	unique material tag.
$matArgs	list	a list of material arguments with number dependent on material type

Note

The valid queries to any uniaxial material when creating an ElementRecorder are ‘strain’, and ‘stress’. Some materials have additional queries to which they will respond. These are documented in the NOTES section for those materials.

The following contain information about matType? and the args required for each of the available material types:
