Definition of constant linear elastic characteristics or functions.

The TABLE keyword makes it easy to write DEFI_MATERIAU for certain behaviors (COMPOR) by reading data from a table. TABLE is used to create functions.

The parameters are stored in columns, with an additional column to give the x-axis of the functions that are created (NOM_PARA). For example, the following table defines elastic behavior.

.. csv-table::

    "TEMP ", "E", "NUDE", "RHO "," "," ALPHA "," TEMP_DEF_ALPHA"
    "20", "200", "0.3", "0.3", "1000", "1, E-5", "20.0"
    "50", "190", "0.3", "0.3", "1000", "1, E-5", "20.0"
