Material Library in ANSYS
Material Library in ANSYS
(OP)
Hi,
I'm new to ANSYS but not new to FEA. Impressed and pleased so far.
As I get started I can't help but notice the minuscule built-in material properties list.
What do people normally do about that? There's only one grade of aluminum, and the data in that doesn't even seem valid.
Probably important to note, I'm not giving the software re-seller a penny more than they have already extorted out of me. I'll pay for things from OTHER sources, though, if it saves me a few days of typing data into spreadsheets.

Yes that's a lot like what I'm looking for. Doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
I'm just very busy (and so are all my minions). It would be a pain to set someone aside for a couple of days just to do that. We will do it if necessary.

Please don't take that as an invitation to post the entire thing (copyright violation) but if a user with the library can quickly scan the list and see that there is, for example, multiple entries for 7075 for a variety of tempers and forms, cross referenced to MMPDS.
That would confirm that the library is actually useful to me and not just a pile of numbers.
