I am making a FE model of composite by the mat 58 bulit in ls-dyna. In the newest version in ls-dyna r13 and r14, the 3d solid element has been accepted to use mat58, however, few informations about  3d equaiton of mat58  can be find, it seem that at present only the 2d equation of mat 58 are introduced in the manual. Can angbody provied more information?

Hello,

Can you please clarify what information you are looking for about the support of solid elements in *MAT58? 

*MAT58 with the "SOLID" option work for solid elements. Details about this material card can be found in LS-DYNA Keyword User's Manual Vol. II (LS-DYNA Materials Manual) and Theory Manual (LS-DYNA Theory Manual).

I would also suggest using the latest LS-DYNA solver (R15.0.2), which can be download at LS-DYNA (user=user) Download Page (username: user & password: computer).

Thanks,

Pedra,

Hello, is there a similar three-dimensional formula, something like this, all the information so far is only two-dimensional equations.
