determining new material properties

[gbon]

Hi alls,

Sometimes ago, I've seen that it was possible to make some measures on material samples and then fill results in a software.
Then, properties (Young modulus...) were calculated by software.

I can't remember where I've seen this and if it was within Mechanica
(simulate) or Ansys (or an other software).

Does someone see what I'm speaking about and can tell me where this can be found ?

Thanks,
GB
