All materials available in the model are listed in the Materials table as well as in the navigator category 'Stress-Strain Analysis'.
Remove materials from analysis
For all valid materials, you can exclude all objects from the stress-strain analysis by clearing the 'To Analyze' check box to which this material is assigned. Thus, the objects are sorted in the tables Objects to be Analyzed - Stresses and Objects to be Analyzed - Stress Ranges in the column 'Not Valid/Deactivated' and removed from the analysis.
Adjusting Material Properties
To adjust the properties of a material, double-click the table row or click the button
to open the editing dialog box for the material in the table toolbar. In the 'Main' tab, select the User-defined material check box.
In the 'Material Values' tab, you can now edit the material properties for the stress-strain analysis; for example, the material stiffnesses or the strengths of the individual thickness ranges.
The modified values are taken into account accordingly in the stress-strain analysis of members, surfaces, solids, and line welds.
User-defined materials are marked with the
icon in the 'Options' itable column.
