    Please, can you at least add a description in your posts? This is not like google, yet :)

     

    As you're probably looking for material data, this might interest you:

    This Material Database has many material properties, even in the free version.

    But in your case, you're looking for MAT9 anisotropic material data, and you probably won't find it.

    Maybe describind your case could help others to help.

    MAT9 is an anisotropic material model, but aluminum and cast iron are isotropic materials that can be modeled appropriately with MAT1. 

    Cast iron could be anisotropic under special conditions, but the standard iron casting process creates isotropic material.
