Optional parameters:
DEPENDENCIES
Set this parameter equal to the number of field variables included in the definition of the piezoelectric
properties. If this parameter is omitted, the piezoelectric properties are assumed not to depend on
any field variables but may still depend on temperature. See “Specifying field variable dependence”
in “Material data definition,” Section 16.1.2 of the ABAQUS Analysis User’s Manual, for more
information.
TYPE
Set TYPE=S (default) to specify stress material coefficients for the piezoelectric property. Set
TYPE=E to specify strain material coefficients for the piezoelectric property.
