Hello,

I am currently using v13 of workbench. Both myself and my colleague have used earlier versions, yet we cannot figure out how to select a material.

Within the model tree in the mechanical application, we used to select the material but clicking model->geometry->part name and then selecting material in the material assignment pull down menu. There are no options there except structural steel - or the menu itself won't pull down.

Clicking engineering data sources in the project schematic brings up the 7 default libraries. When I click on general materials however, all the entries in the toolbox are grayed out and it is not obvious how to actually select the material!

Thanks for any tips!
 
got it, the outline window was crammed into the corner of workbench!
