4.5.2 Assign material

In this exercise you'll learn how to assign material to a model.

Open the model boss, if you created it previously, and save it as material according to the naming convention. Otherwise, create the model material and add a cylinder with the following dimensions to it:

Dimension	Value (mm)
Diameter	20
Height	50

And two bosses, concentric on the flat surfaces of the cylinder, with the following dimensions:

Dimension	Value (mm)
Diameter	10
Height	20

(refer figure "Second boss added")

You can open the window Assign Material via Tools -> Materials -> Assign Materials. (refer figure "Menu Material")

Now select the model you want to assign a material to. Within Material List, choose , to be able to actually assign a material to your model. You can filter the database for type (e.g. ) below New Material.

Hint:

This function enables you to make calculations with your model (e.g. calculating mass, finite element method, etc.).
