We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Dear Pedram, I have encountered a new problem in understanding MAT58 model, and I would like to ask you about it.
The specific problem is: I'm modeling the through-thickness direction bending, but there seem to be too many parameters. For example, EPSF EPSR, TSMD GM23, GM31, TAU2, GAMMA2, TAU3, GAMMUA3. Do I have to enter all these parameters?
I tried a few things, input TAU23(31 also),GAMMA23 (31),GM23(31) and SC23(31) can simulate a suitable curve, but I'm not sure if I need EPSF,EPSR,TSMD.
Thank you very much for your patient answer
