How can I add Mechanical Properties in SimLab?

Hi.

I'm making the the certification on CFD Analysis with AcuSolve and SimLab. I'm in Ex.6 but I can't do it properly because I have a problem. In the exercise i have to fill the correct mechanical properties as you can see in image below:

The problem is that my box isn't like that, but is like the following one:

How can I add some mechanical properties and other properties to develop a complete "material card"?

Thank You.

Carlo

    Hello Carlo,

     

    latest SimLab Versions filter the shown material properties depending on the ones which are effectively relevant for the CURRENT SOLUTION.

    In your current solution, only Density and Thermal Property of the material are relevant, so the rest is hidden.

     

    Previous SimLab versions were displaying ALL parameters for each material, but this lead to confusion.

     

    Thank you

    Hello Alessio,

    thank you for your answer, but I ask that because I need some of that paramaters. In the exercise I have to set the "Reference Temperature", but this property is in Mechanical Prop in the image available in the explanation of the exercise. In my window I don't have the opportunity to set it. This function is available somewhere else? How can I set the Reference Temperature of my object?

    Thank You.
