Data source

$\mathrm{inline}$

Data source. There are three options: 1. inline: The data is provided as a two-column matrix in the GUI. 2. file: Browse to the location where the data file is saved. 3. attachment: browse to the location where the data file is saved.  The selected file is attached to the MapleSim file.

$\mathrm{URL}$ or $\mathrm{attachment}$

The data should have two columns; the first column is strain, and second column is stress. Each column's unit is defined separately (see below). Note: MapleSim will extrapolate linear based on the last two points of the data if strain goes out-of-range.
