The PorousElastic object specifies elastic material properties for porous materials.
import material mdb.models[name].materials[name].porousElastic import odbMaterial session.odbs[name].materials[name].porousElastic
This method creates a PorousElastic object.

Required argument
A sequence of sequences of Floats specifying the items described below.
Optional arguments
A SymbolicConstant specifying the shear definition form. Possible values are G and POISSON. The default value is POISSON.
A Boolean specifying whether the data depend on temperature. The default value is OFF.
An Int specifying the number of field variable dependencies. The default value is 0.
Table data
If shear=G, the table data specify the following:
The logarithmic bulk modulus, 
. (Dimensionless.)
The shear modulus, 
.
The elastic tensile limit, 
. (This value cannot be negative.)
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
The logarithmic bulk modulus, . (Dimensionless.)
The Poisson's ratio, 
.
The elastic tensile limit, . (This value cannot be negative.)
Temperature, if the data depend on temperature.
Value of the first field variable, if the data depend on field variables.
Value of the second field variable.
Etc.
Return value
A PorousElastic object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
This method modifies the PorousElastic object.
Required arguments
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the PorousElastic method.
Return value
Exceptions
RangeError.
The PorousElastic object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the PorousElastic method.
