how to fill the matrix of anisotropic properties in the linear elasticity sectio

      Hello, I am trying to place a composite material that is WPC to be able to do a static structural simulation, due to the composition of the material I know that it is completely anisotropic, when using the ANSYS tools it asks me to characterize it with a triangular matrix with different values to add, but It is not very clear to me what information I should place in each of the boxes. I know they are pascals, but it is not clear to me exactly what efforts I should place.

      Hi Braian,
      The full 6 x 6 elastic coefficient matrix [D] relates terms ordered x, y, z, xy, yz, xz via 21 constants as shown in the pic. Please follow the link that I have attached below.

        Hi 
        I didn't get your question. Are you not able to open the link I shared with you, or is there any problem entering the value?
