*Material
To specify standard material properties to be used in DNV and API code checking.
Refer to Code Checking for further information on this feature.
A block of two lines defining the material name and its associated properties. The block may be repeated as often as necessary to define all the required materials.
NAME=Material Name
SMYS, SMTS, Young’s Modulus, Fy temp, Fu temp [, Alpha U] [, Poisson’s Ratio]
Alpha U and Poisson’s Ratio default to 0.96 and 0.3 respectively.

Description |
Material Name: |
The name of the material. |
SMYS: |
The Specified Minimum Yield Strength for the material. |
SMTS: |
The Specified Minimum Tensile Strength for the material. |
Young’s Modulus: |
Young’s modulus for the material. |
Fy Temp: |
The temperature derating factor for the yield stress (Fy,temp) as per the relevant DNV standard. |
Fu Temp: |
The temperature derating factor for the tensile stress (Fu,temp) as per the relevant DNV standard. |
Alpha U: |
The material strength factor (αu) as per the relevant DNV standard. This value defaults to 0.96 if not specified. |
Poisson’s Ratio: |
Poisson’s ratio for the material. This value defaults to 0.3 if not specified. |
