I had a question about what algorithm ABAQUS uses to rotate a material in the material orientation option.

I assume its some kind of rotation matrix, but I'm not positive about what it is. Also, since you would have xx,yy,zz,xy,xz,...,zx, you would have to have a 6x6 rotation matrix. I can't figure out what it is, if in fact ABAQUS uses a rotation matrix.
