Hello,

 

it depends from the solver (Hypermesh->Preferences->User profile).

 

As example for Optistruct / Nastran you have to create two properties and assign the different materials to the properties. Then assign the different properties to the components.

As example for LS-Dyna you can assign properties and material indepentent to the components, but it isn't possible for Optistruct / Nastran.
