New Material in the Material Library

[[email protected]]

Hello, I need some clarification about how to save a new set up material. My problem is, that the new material is not available in a new created model. I can't find it in the material library.
I'm using RFEM 5.20.02 student license.

Hello. Do I understand you correctly: You want to insert a new material into the material library?

Yes, thats what I want.

[Frank Faulstich]

Hello. This is how it works: Create a new material and open the material library.



In the library, find a material that is as similar as possible to the new material. Click on it once in the list.



Click on "Create New Material...".



Define a new name and enter the parameters and confirm the dialog.



The new material is now in the library and can also be used in the new RFEM file.

Hello Frank, it's working, thanks!
By the way, as I'm working is the tensile structures using cables, membrane materials etc, is there a library available with these materials?

I'm working with RF-Form-finding module

Hello Tomasz, there are no membrane materials in our database. But what we have are cables:



Please note: Cables have a special non-linearity, the stretching. This is not taken into account in the RFEM calculation.
