[EN] FAQ 003401 | Which material model should be assigned to a timber contact solid?

Question:
Which material model should be assigned to a timber contact solid?

Answer:
In the case of timber, the "Orthotropic Elastic/Plastic 3D" material model has to be assigned to the "Material" solid type (Image 01).

Since the program considers the "Contact" solid type as a member, it usually requires the isotropic material model (Image 02).
