Copying material parameters of an element to other elements

SettingDescription
Element Element, whose material properties will be copied  to the specified elements (and if necessary modified)
Elem/To/Step Elements, whose material parameters shall be modified
Option Material The material parameters are taken from the material table and assigned to the series of elements.
Option E-G The material property values are input by the user will be assigned to the elements
Material Name of the material to be assigned. Input if the option Material is selected. The relevant properties are then automatically taken from the material table.
Material properties Input only if the option E-G is selected
SettingDescription
E-Mod Young's modulus (modulus of elasticity
G-Mod Shear modulus (= E-Mod/(2*(1.0+Poiss))
Poiss Poisson ratio (lateral strain coefficient)
Alpha-T Temperature expansion coefficient
Gamma Specific weight
