# Abaqus Material Library and Data Definition
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
Abaqus material library and data definition is the keyword-level system for naming materials, combining compatible material behaviors, supplying property data, and attaching those materials to model regions through section definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
A material definition starts with a named `*MATERIAL` block and then contains one or more material behavior options. A simple linear static stress analysis may need only elasticity, while nonlinear, thermal, coupled-field, or damage analyses may combine elasticity, density, plasticity, damping, expansion, conductivity, damage, and other behavior blocks.
|
||||
|
||||
Material data can depend on temperature and independent field variables. In Abaqus/Standard some behavior can also depend on solution variables. For anisotropic behavior, the material may require a local coordinate system; for spatially varying behavior in homogeneous solid continuum elements, some properties can be supplied through distributions.
|
||||
|
||||
The source emphasizes data discipline: tabular material data must be ordered by increasing independent variable values, enough points must be supplied to represent strongly nonlinear behavior, and finite-strain material data should use true stress and logarithmic strain when required by the model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why It Matters
|
||||
|
||||
The material library is where a finite element model becomes physically specific. The same mesh and procedure can represent a metal forming operation, elastomer seal, concrete structure, porous soil, acoustic medium, or electromagnetic material depending on the material blocks attached to the model.
|
||||
|
||||
## Connections
|
||||
|
||||
- [[Abaqus Input File Syntax]] supplies the keyword and data-line structure used by material definitions.
|
||||
- [[Abaqus Spatial Model Definition]] assigns materials to element regions through sections.
|
||||
- [[Abaqus Constitutive Integration]] is the integration-point process that consumes material definitions during an analysis.
|
||||
- [[Abaqus User-Defined Material Behavior]] extends the material library when built-in behavior is insufficient.
