Set this parameter equal to the number of field variables included in the
definition of the allowable stress. If this parameter is omitted, it is
assumed that the allowable stresses are constant or depend only on
temperature.
TYPE
Set
TYPE=UD
to specify allowable stress for a unidirectional fiber-reinforced
composite.
Set
TYPE=WOVEN
to specify allowable stress for a plain weave composite.
Data lines to specify allowable stress for
TYPE=UD
First line
Longitudinal tensile strength of the lamina.
Longitudinal compressive strength of the lamina.
Transverse tensile strength of the lamina.
Transverse compressive strength of the lamina.
Longitudinal shear strength of the lamina.
Transverse shear strength of the lamina.
Temperature, if temperature dependent.
First field variable.
Subsequent lines (only needed if the
DEPENDENCIES parameter has
a value greater than one)
Second field variable.
Etc., up to eight field variables per line.
Repeat this set of data lines as often as necessary to
define the dependence of the strengths on temperature and other
predefined field variables.
Data lines to specify allowable stress for
TYPE=WOVEN
First line
Tensile strength of the lamina along the 1-direction.

Tensile stress of the lamina along the 1-direction at the
initiation of the matrix failure.
Compressive stress of the lamina along the 1-direction at
the initiation of the matrix failure.
