Material property tag

Material property tag = <integer>

Description/Usage

This card is required for continuation problems when the specified Continuation Type is “MT” or “UM”. It identifies the property of the relevant material to be used as the continuation parameter. <integer> is the 4-digit property tag number assigned to that property in the file “mm_mp_const.h” as follows:

#define TAGC_<PROPERTY_NAME> xxxx

Examples

If the continuation parameter is heat capacity (TAGC_HEAT_CAPACITY = 1600), use:

Material property tag = 1600

Technical Discussion

Although a card for the chosen material property is still required in the *.mat file for the relevant material, the property value specified there is overwritten by the continuation parameter.
