Enter positive values for the shear moduli of the material. You can define this property or assign a parameter to the property. You can either type a value or right-click to assign a Parameter as appropriate.

For orthotropic material properties, enter values for:

These values represent the shear modulus in each of the three material directions.

For transversely isotropic material properties, enter a value for the shear modulus of the material in two of the three principal planes of the material. The Material Definition dialog box shows the following shear modulus values:

Enter a single positive value for the 21 and 31 planes. The software automatically calculates the value for the 32 plane, using the equation shown on the dialog box.
