DEFINITION
MATAXI specifies the material axis at each element. In 2D, it has one component, which is the angle. In 3D, it has nine components, which are the vectors for material axis x, y, and z, in the global coordinate system. By default, they are (1,0,0), (0,1,0), and (0,0,1), respectively.
REMARKS
These state variables are computed only when the material is anisotropic. Related keyword: ANISO.
