MaterialCoeff(PXYZ)

The Material Coefficient values provide numbers reflecting the material property, and are the fractional change in length per unit change in temperature.

A scale with a coefficient of 11.5 microns/meter/degree C becomes 0.0000115 meters/meter/degree C or just 0.0000115/degree C.

This can be thought of as meters/meter/degree C or inches/inch/degree F but since the length in both the numerator and denominator are in the same units they divide out.

Entry Name: MaterialCoeff(PXYZ)

Entry Type: Character string that specifies the degrees in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The default value is NONE ( ).
