Hi all
We've created some material files and used them in the parts through Edit > Setup > Material > Assign and the config.pro option points to the material lib. One of our guys is trying to use thermal analysis and comes out with strange results. What parameters from the material file does thermal use and in what format ie units, should the parameters be in. We use imperial units for our dimensions and are currently on M160 of Wildfire 2. Also does mechanica have its own materials library and can we add our materials into this library or is the mechanica library fixed.
I could also ask the same question for the structural side of mechanica, ie what parameters of the material file does it use and in what units should they be in in the materials files.
Any thermal or structural tutorials would be useful as well
Thanks in advance
Stu
