*DEFINE_MATERIAL_HISTORIES Components

*DEFINE_MATERIAL_HISTORIES for solids

If *DEFINE_MATERIAL_HISTORIES cards have been defined, these will overrule the value of NEIPB on the *DATABASE_EXTENT_BINARY control card and the number of "extra" variables will be defined by the number of *DEFINE_MATERIAL_HISTORIES cards. D3PLOT will accept any number of these, but will only process the first 99. These have the names:

They are treated as separate scalar values of unknown type which may be contoured and written out, but not processed in any way.

The *DEFINE_MATERIAL_HISTORIES component category is only available in D3PLOT if a ZTF file is present.

These variables will also be present in D3PLOT in the Extra component category as described above. When the NAMES option is active, history variable components are given this name in D3PLOT (the first 27 characters of the name will be displayed), otherwise they are given the corresponding label.
