Comments

  1. This keyword maps to /MAT/LAW90.
  2. The unloading follows the first loading curve when HU=0. For HU>0, the first loading curve is used to calculate the unloading path based on a damage formulation.
  3. The option “_TITLE” can be added to the end of this keyword. When “_TITLE” is included, an extra 80 character long line is added after the keyword input line which allows an entity title to be defined.
