M. Materials and Constants

You can use material definitions or assign individual material constant values to beams, plates, and solids.

Note: Material definitions are recommended for most models.

M.To create a material definition
To create a new isotropic material definition for use with your model, use the following procedure.
M. To add a predefined material
To add a predefined material definition, use the following procedure.
M. To create an orthotropic material
To create a 2D orthotropic material definition for use with orthotropic plate elements, use the following procedure.
M.To assign material definitions
To assign material definitions to model objects (beams, plates, or solids), use the following procedure.
M. To assign material constants
To assign material constants to model objects (beams, plates, or solids), use the following procedure.
