Principal models

Each material is defined as belonging to one of the following classes. Input for a material consists of a keyword identifying the principal class, followed by data identifying the subclass providing the specific model (for example eos perfect_gas for an equation of state of perfect gas type). The name of each principal class is defined in the class data. Any element of material is described by a state (e.g. density and energy for an inert equation of state). Each class of model below may have a different state; the states are also described.

Subsidiary models

The models below are invoked by particular principal models when needed.
