When a material is selected in the “Pane,” certain information is displayed in the various fields provided for that purpose, provided that it has been entered in the materials database.

  • If a part contains multiple solid bodies and the material needs to be applied to certain solid bodies, simply expand the window and select the solid bodies so that they are assigned the selected material.


 


  • We can view the mechanical properties of the selected material.

  • When the “ SOLIDWORKS Simulation” add-in is enabled, you can create tables and graphs representing different states of material deformation based on specific criteria. These definitions are stored in the material database file (*sldmat) being used.


   


 

If multiple curves are available  


  • The " Hatch" area displays the information entered for the selected material: the hatch pattern, scale, or angle.

  • The last information section displays the application data entered in the materials database. This data can be useful in helping the user select a material (lead times, prices, recommended uses, production area, etc.).
