NDMaterial is an abstract class. The NDMaterial class provides the interface that all NDMaterial writers must provide when introducing new NDMaterial subclasses. An NDMaterial object is responsible for keeping track of stress, strain and the constitution for a particular point in the domain.

// Constructor

// Destructor

// Public Methods

To construct a NDMaterial whose unique integer among NDMaterials in the domain is given by tag, and whose class identifier is given by classTag. These integers are passed to the Material class constructor.

Does nothing.

Sets the value of the trial strain vector, that value used by getStress() and getTangent(), to be strain. To return \(0\) if successful and a negative number if not.

To return the material stress vector at the current trial strain.

To return the material tangent stiffness matrix at the current trial strain.

To accept the current value of the trial strain vector as being on the solution path. To return \(0\) if successful, a negative number if not.

To cause the material to revert to its last committed state. To return \(0\) if successful, a negative number if not.

Invoked to cause the material to revert to its original state in its undeformed configuration. To return \(0\) if successful, a negative number if not.

Returns a pointer to a new NDMaterial, which is an exact copy of this instance. It is up to the caller to ensure that the destructor is invoked.
