Property and Material Card Image
Hello!
I am working on a geometry whose material is a polymer, PA6 basically. I need to know that which Property Card Image and Material Card Image should I select?
I am confused. Please help!
Thanks

Hi
for the material, you need to select the card image based on the behavior of your material, for instance on a tensile test result.
For instance if your model is proportional elastic, you can use MAT1 only.
If it behaves as elastic plastic material with hardening, you need to activate as well the MATS1 in the MAT1.
For property , it is defined based on the mesh discretization approach you will use.
For instance if you will use shell meshing, you can select PSHELL, if you will do with solid PSOLID and so on.
Please refer to the OptiStruct documentation for more information on the cards.
I Hope this is helpful.

My material is thermoplastic.
