Viscoelas/Material Macro/Input File/Scripting

Viscoelas/Material Macro/Input File/Scripting

Viscoelas/Material Macro/Input File/Scripting

(OP)
Hello everybody,
I am creating a model in APDL.
1)I create the geometry
2)I select my element (plane 183 for instance)
3)I save the database.
4)Now, I have prepared a macro where my material models were implemented.
When I click Material Props/Read from File: and then select my material macro file, it gives the ERROR:

ERROR1
-The number of data points specified by NTEMPS(=41) times NPTS (=42) may not exceed 2125 for material number 1. The TB,Prony command is ignored.
5)Normally, I would continue with giving boundary conditions and running a simple simulations to see if my material macro file is working or not.

My QUESTION is: How can I add my macro file to my simulation? or how can I create an input file from Ansys Classic and edit this file to call my material macro?

I hope somebody can help me, any ideas will be totally appreciated.
 

Best Regards,
Sartor
