IV.3.4.5 Properties of the materials defined in an ESAComp file

Another example defined in file “testCla4.rb” illustrates the printing of material matrices and vectors as a function of the orientation. The most important lines look as follows:

   mat=db.getMaterialCopy("testPly2")

   (0..360).step(15) do |iAngle|
      theta=1.0*iAngle
      STDOUT.printf("Angle = %g\n\n",theta)

      STDOUT.printf("   In-plane compliance matrix :\n\n")
      mat.write_InPlaneCompliance(STDOUT,theta)
      STDOUT.printf("\n")

      STDOUT.printf("   In-plane alfa*E :\n\n")
      mat.write_InPlaneAlfaE(STDOUT,theta)
      STDOUT.printf("\n")

      STDOUT.printf("   In-plane alfa :\n\n")
      mat.write_InPlaneAlfa(STDOUT,theta)
      STDOUT.printf("\n")

      STDOUT.printf("   Out-of-plane compliance matrix :\n\n")
      mat.write_OOPSCompliance(STDOUT,theta)
      STDOUT.printf("\n")

      STDOUT.printf("\n")
