All materials available in the model are listed in the Materials table as well as in the "Stress-Strain Analysis" category of the navigator.
Removing Materials from Analysis
For all valid materials, you can exclude all objects with this material assigned from the stress-strain analysis by deactivating the “To Analyze” check box. Thus, the objects are sorted in the tables Objects to Analyze – Stresses and Objects to Analyze – Stress Ranges in the "Not Valid / Deactivated" column and removed from the analysis.
Adjusting Material Properties
To adjust the properties of a material, double-click in the table row or click on the
button in the table toolbar to open the editing dialog box for the material. 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 the members, surfaces, solids, and line welded joints.
