Note:

To display context-sensitive help for specific buttons, text fields, and other options in the Suboption Editor or the Test Data Editor, you must select the option of interest and then press F1. (The Help menu in the main menu bar is unavailable while the editors are displayed.) For detailed information on using F1 to obtain help, see Displaying context-sensitive help.

  1. Click Suboptions, Test Data, or Uniaxial Test Data in the upper right corner of the data area and select the option of your choice from the list that appears.

    The Suboption Editor or the Test Data Editor, as appropriate for your selection, appears in a separate dialog box.

  2. Enter the required data inside the editor and then click OK to return to the material editor.

    You can enter data into a suboption or test data table using the keyboard. Alternatively, you can click mouse button 3 anywhere in the table to view a list of options for specifying tabular data. For example, an option exists for creating an X–Y data object from the data in the table; you can plot the X–Y data in the Visualization module and visually check its validity. Another option exists for automatically entering data from a file. For detailed information on each option, see Entering tabular data.
