What Material Card has hypermesh to define a anisotropic nonlinear viscoelastic material law?

 

And can I combine more material laws?

    Hi,

     

    Refer to MATX42, MATX38 in OptiStruct.

    Thank you very much.

    How can I combine the MATX38 with orthotropic Material? 

     

    Best regards

    Hi @mydlo1990

     

    Sorry for a late reply, but I did some research and found that there is no direct way to create a viso elastic anisotropic material in OptiStruct.

     

    Maybe you can define a user defined material in RADIOSS.
