The amitex
interface is mostly an alias for the
castem
interface, i.e. the interface for the
Cast3M
interface prior to Version 21
and also
generates an input file template which is meant to be copy-pasted into
the material.xml
file of the user. See this page for a description of the
castem
interface
Here is an example of such a template:
<!--
Simple template for use in AMITEX_FFTP.
You may copy-paste those lines in your material.xml file
and adjust:
- the material number I,
- the path to the library (currently UmatBehaviour),
- the coefficients and initial internal variables values
which are currently replaced by three dots.
-->
