    Yes, move it into an include, when exporting you will get 2 files link together, just change load in 1st file and keep constant data in the included file

    many thanks for your quick  reply and very useful trick..

    I was not clearly explained my question.

    I want to re use the same material in all my analysis with different designs ...so i wantsave time in creating material all times and checking all values given are corect from the source .

    Simply to say ..in few other CAE softwares we can export material  to a .dat file and can be imported in to other files during PRE PROCESSING . do we have any option in HM..
