SW materials
(OP)
My previous link somehow went away.
I have had several request's for a material database for SolidWorks/CosmosWorks.
Here is one I put together based off the Engineer's Material Handbook.

RE: SW materials
Thanks for the materials. Got a to look inside, you did a great job adding extra Alloy materials that SolidWorks does not have. Another star for you.

You can rename it to whatever you want, but it is an addition to the SW supplied file and should not replace it.
RE: SW materials
CBL is correct.
Sorry, I didn't have time to type an explanation earlier.
I would not replace the existing SW file, this one would be in addition to.
CBL a start for the help! ;)

RE: SW materials
Thanks for taking the time to create that material dbase. That was on my "to do" list and now I can do something else. A star for you

RE: SW materials
When you go into the material editor you will be able to toggle from the default material dbase to Chris's material dbase. I don't think you can delete the SWx default material dbase file.

You might be able to open both up in Notepad and then cut and paste. But I don't recommend you do that as you will lose the modifications when you next upgrade.
It's very easy to use multiple Material Databases ... their really is no need to combine them.

IMO, the more we help each other out, the better we get and the better the product gets from our input to SW.
Flores,
I just like purple stars.

RE: SW materials
Expand all the materials and just start clicking down the list. If you don't have a big PF or much RAM get ready to crash as you move down the list.
