CREATE A MAT_001 KEYWORD FOR LS-DYNA

Generates an LS-DYNA *MAT_001 (*MAT_ELASTIC) keyword block from basic elastic material parameters. Use this worker to programmatically author or inject a linear-elastic material card into an LS-DYNA input deck.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: deck_authoring, elastic, keyword, ls-dyna, mat_001, mat_elastic, material.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Material Name material_name scalar   Alphanumeric label for the material (maps to the TITLE field of *MAT_001); leave blank to omit a title comment.
Material ID material_i_d scalar   Integer material ID (MID) referenced by *SECTION and *PART cards; must be unique within the deck.
Density density scalar   Mass density of the material (RO field); units must match the deck’s consistent unit system (e.g. kg/mm³ or tonne/mm³).
Elastic Modulus elastic_modulus scalar   Young’s modulus (E field); units must be consistent with the deck (e.g. GPa or MPa).
Poissons Ratio poissons_ratio scalar   Poisson’s ratio (PR field); dimensionless value typically in the range 0.0–0.5.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
dynakeyword_mat001_output_1 dynakeyword_mat001_output_1 text Formatted *MAT_001 keyword block as plain text, ready to be appended or inserted into an LS-DYNA input deck (.k / .key file).
