This command is used to construct a multi-linear elastic uniaxial material object.

The nonlinear stress-strain relationship is given by a multi-linear curve that is define by a set of points.

The behavior is nonlinear but it is elastic. This means that the material loads and unloads along the same curve, and no energy is dissipated.

$matTag integer tag identifying material
$strainPoints array of strain points along stress-strain curve
$stressPoints array of stress points along stress-strain curve
