  1. Working With Imported Geometry: Defining Materials and Properties • Overview of defining materials and properties • Using CAD-defined materials • Using Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics-defined materials • Editing materials in the library • Defining new materials

  2. Section 1 Module 5 Page 1 Working With Imported Geometry Defining Materials and PropertiesOverview • Materials can be defined within the original CAD software, within Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion, or within the FEA software. • It is often preferable to use the FEA software’s library, as the material selections are much more extensive and are easily customizable. • In addition to using alibrary material, FEA packages allow the user to define their own material, completely from scratch orby using another similar material as a starting template.

  3. Section 1 Module 5 Page 2 Working With Imported Geometry Defining Materials and Properties Defining materials within CAD • Within the original CAD software or within Inventor Fusion, the user can select their material from a limited list. Usually, this list contains: • Alloy steel • Aluminum • Brass • Copper • Plastic • Wood • The material properties are fairly accurate and are good for determining center of mass, overall weight, and estimating stresses and deflections. • These material properties can be imported with the geometry into an FEA package and can be used for analysis purposes.

  4. Section 1 Module 5 Page 3 Working With Imported Geometry Defining Materials and Properties Defining materials within FEA • Within most FEA packages, however, there is an extensive list of materials from which to choose, including several dozen steels, stainless steels, aluminums, plastics, and woods. • Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics includes its materials library with thesoftware, so it is availablefor any user to utilize.

  5. Section 1 Module 5 Page 4 Working With Imported Geometry Defining Materials and Properties Defining materials within FEA • In addition, material properties can be easily modified within Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics to create a custom material, using an existing material as a template. Thus, virtually any metal, polymer, or wood can be created based on actual material properties. • Materials can also be defined entirely from scratch, where the user inputs every parameter by hand.

  6. Section 1 Module 5 Page 5 Working With Imported Geometry Defining Materials and Properties Summary • Overview of defining materials and properties • Using CAD-defined materials • Using Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics-defined materials • Editing materials in the library • Defining new materials • The video will demonstrate how to import a CAD model with materials already defined into Autodesk® Simulation Multiphysics, as well as how to use a material from the library and edit a material from the library.
