material assignment

[Max-C]

Good day to all,
I hope I have corrected the section as I do not understand if cosmos is the simulation or flow simulation of solidwoks :wink:
I hope you can help me.
I have a strong doubt that I just can't take myself away.
Usually when I finish a project I check materials in the assembly/modeling.
so I open the flow simulation and create the project. here however I have to assign materials and not all are present also in the model.
So I wanted to ask you if the assignment of materials I have to do it as simulation with the materials they suggest or I can use those of the model...

an example:
in the assembly I want to assign to a part called "glass" the fiber of glass to but in the flow simulation is not present.
now in simulation flow I check the standard material: aluminum 6061, then the various materials to the other parts (copper, gum, etc.).
to my part "glass" the material that will have in the simulation will be the fiber of glass to or the aluminum 6061?

I hope I've been clear

thanks for the help

I'd say you don't understand what you're talking about:
- solidworks: part/axieme model
- ex cosmos, simulation: static or structural dynamic fem
- ex floworks, flow simulation: fluid dynamic simulator cfd

rereading you confused the application.
we are talking about static or dynamic linear/nonlinear fem then solidworks simulation.
- usually the materials are given on the individual part before arriving at the end unless in the projects there are 4 pieces on the cross
- if the materials are assigned in the part will be considered as materials for the fem simulation
- if the materials are not assigned in the part it is possible (in fact it is obligatory indicated by the appropriate sw message) to indicate it in its simulation module.
- simulation materials are significantly lower than the standard or customized materials database because they are divided into families with specific laws of each material. If you want and need you can add materials with their real physical and mechanical behaviors.
- if the part material is different from that of simulation, you will get that the material property of the piece will be that of the part, while that of the simulation is not displayed anywhere

thank you so much, you actually on fem/cfd I made quite confusing.
but the above mentioned address regarding the assignment of materials is also valid for the cfd?
