This command is used to construct a parallel material object made up of an arbitrary number of previously-constructed UniaxialMaterial objects.

uniaxialMaterial ElasticPP $matTag $tag1 $tag2 ...

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$tag1 $tag2 ... identification tags of materials making up the material model

The parallel material is represented graphically:

In a parallel model, strains are equal and stresses and stiffnesses are additive:
