Hi!

I have the following data to define in Abaqus, the material: "glass fiber" ->

- Elastic modulus transverse: 9.5 Mpa
- Elastic modulus longitudinal: 37 Mpa
- Poisson transverse: 0.27
- Poission longitudinal: 0.34

what *ELASTIC type should I use? ENGINEERING CONSTANTS or ORTHOTROPIC ? In both cases, what should I write in the data lines?

Thank you very much in advance!
