Order DEFI_MATER_GC
======================



Purpose of the order
-----------------------

The purpose of the DEFI_MATER_GC command is to simplify the entry of material coefficients for a civil engineering application, with the following laws:

• Mazars concrete law,

• concrete law for GLRC_DM,

• ecro_line steel law,

• law of non-local damage to concrete ENDO_FISS_EXP,

• law of local damage to concrete ENDO_LOCA_EXP.

In this command, we enter the physical properties (elastic coefficients, elastic limits, characteristic resistances,...), at the output we have a "material" concept, which can then be assigned to the various meshes with the affe_material command.

These output "material" concepts can also be used by the operator DEFI_GLRC, for the cases reinforced concrete for GLRC_DM and steel ECRO_LINE.




Operand INFO
-------------

Allows you to have, in the message file, the echo of the defi_material command used by defi_mater_gc when defining the material.

The defi_mater_gc command always prints the material parameters that are passed to the defi_material command (refer to the "example of use" paragraph).




Other operands
----------------

The operands RHO, ALPHA, AMOR_ALPHA, AMOR_BETA, AMOR_HYST correspond and have the same meaning as those found under the key word factor elas of the defi_material command [U4.43.01].
