Optional parameters

DEPENDENCIES: Set this parameter equal to the number of field variables included in the definition of electrical conductivity. If this parameter is omitted, the electrical conductivity is assumed not to depend on any field variables but may still depend on temperature and frequency. See Material Data Definition for more information.
FREQUENCY: Include this parameter to specify electrical conductivity as a function of frequency in an eddy current analysis.
TYPE: Set TYPE=ISO (default) to define isotropic electrical conductivity. Set TYPE=ORTHO to define orthotropic electrical conductivity. Set TYPE=ANISO to define fully anisotropic electrical conductivity.
