FEM MaterialSolid
Description
Creates a material for solid.
The FEM material task panel
Usage
- To create a new MaterialSolid object do one of the following:
- Press the
Material for solid button. - Select the Model → Materials → Material for solid option from the menu.
- Press the
- To edit an existing MaterialSolid object:
- Double-click it in the Tree view.
- The FEM material task panel opens.
- Select a material from the drop-down list. For example, for engineering mechanical analysis, CalculiX-Steel is a common option.
- Optionally, press the Use this task panel button to modify material properties such as density, Young\'s modulus, Poisson\'s ratio, etc.
- Provided you are applying material to the whole object, don\'t select any geometrical entities (leave the reference list empty). The material will be applied to the whole model. Otherwise, assign the material to selected regions manually by selecting some of them for each inserted material, but don\'t leave any part of the model with no material assigned.
- Press the Close button to close the task panel.
Notes
- The mechanical material uses the *MATERIAL card in CalculiX.
