  • Figure 1 – MatDB Interface

Purpose:

This interface can be used to store material properties at some central location. This storage location can be private to a user or public to members of a group. Data from the material database can be reviewed and imported into a user model. Storage of material properties in the database is kept in LS-DYNA keyword format. Upon retrieval all the respective load curves are also imported and their ID’s are offset automatically to fit the current model’s numbering scheme.
