A.2 Mapped parameters
For mapped parameters, use the attribute type=”map”. In this case, the value of the parameter is the name of the map that is defined in the MeshData section.
<material id="1" name="my_material" type="neo-Hookean"> <E type="map">map_E</E> <v>0.3</v> </material>
The map is defined in the MeshData section.
<ElementData name="map_E" elem_set="Part1"> <elem lid="1">1.23</elem> <elem lid="2">4.56</elem> </ElementData>
Note that it is also possible to use maps in mathematical expressions.
<material id="1" name="my_material" type="neo-Hookean"> <E type="math">5.0*map_E</E> <v>0.3</v> </material>
