OK my code so far...

Python:
mats=mdb.models['Job-15'].materials

for key in mats.keys():
    myElas=mdb.models['Job-15'].materials[key].elastic
    print myElas

My output...

({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((451.736, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((57532.1, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((69890.5, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((82248.9, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((94607.3, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((106966.0, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})
({'dependencies': 0, 'moduli': LONG_TERM, 'noCompression': OFF, 'noTension': OFF, 'table': ((119324.0, 0.3),), 'temperatureDependency': OFF, 'type': ISOTROPIC})

What I would like to do is to be able access just the contents of 'table' but the 'Elastic' objects aren't behaving like a dictionary or a tuple with a dictionary in it.

Any thoughts?
 
When you access the table then you'll get the properties as tuple.

Code:
mats=mdb.models['Model-1'].materials
for key in mats.keys():
    myElas=mats[key].elastic.table
    print myElas
 
Success thankyou!
