DATA SET 9: MATERIAL TYPE CORRECTION


This data set is required only if NCM > 0. Normally NCM lines are required, but if the elements with different material properties appear in regular patterns, automatic generation can be used.

Free-field format input for each line contains the following information:

  1. MI = Global element number of the first element in the sequence.
  2. NSEQ = NSEQ subsequent elements will be generated automatically.
  3. MAD = Increment of element number for each of the NSEQ subsequent elements.
  4. MITYP = Material type to be applied to element MI.
  5. MTYPAD = Increment of the type of material for each of the NSEQ subsequent elements.

NOTE: A line containing five zeros separated by spaces or commas must be present to signal the end of this data set.
