creation of wf4 materials

[Spit19]

Bye to all,
in my work I work in the design of industrial furnaces.
I would need to create specific materials such as refractory, ceramic fibres.
so that when I go to assign the material on the cartiglio I get the material with
his weight.
what are the steps to be taken?

Thank you very much

look how the materials of the library are made.
just copy one and attribute the desired characteristics.

Hi.

In addition, after entering mass=mp_mass("") in part relationships, in the 2d insert:
&ptc_material_name - to get the name of the material used in the part and
&m - to get the weight of the part.

hello and thank you for the answers.... I tried and it's okay...

There is an even more "cooled" way to do everything.

the parameter "ptc_material_name" in practice is the name of the file in mtl format, with all the limitations of the case.

can not contain spaces, special character points, the name comes out all in capital (eg 16nicr4 comes out 16nicr4, which is annoying)

the solution is to use the parameter contained in the file.mtl ptc_material_description

it is not directly accessible, but it is necessary to "extract"

the method is this:

in the start_part (the template you use to make sheets and details) enter the report:

my_parameter=material_param("ptc_material_description")

in the cartilage cell the parameter &mio_parameter

similarly you can extract all other properties of the material (hardness, breaking load, poisson coefficient etc.) and
If necessary, make them appear on the cartilage or on a table.

I didn't know. Thank you.

It's an old trick inherited from previous versions of wildfire 3, dating back to proengineer.

Once, with old material.mat files to read the name of the material from the file it was like this:

example:

material aisi 316

this file may be edited using available editor.
just type on the necessary lines appropriate values
after the sign. comments are not allowed on
lines containing material properties names.

......
......
emissivity =
specific_heat =
condition = stainless steel 316

you used the condition field (which also exists in the new files.mtl) which is a string and command:

material=material_param("condition")

many did not know because in the files.mat that were found as an example on the net often that voice was not even present and however online help certainly this possibility did not put it well in evidence.

Say hi, go.
