Shortcut keys:
-
F7 - Jumps to Elastic Properties
-
ALT+6 - Opens Edit Elastic Properties dialog
Displays the cold elastic modulus, EC, hot elastic moduli at operating conditions, EHn, and Poisson’s ratio, m, of the material for the selected element. The software automatically fills in the properties from the materials database. If you want to change any material property extracted from the material database, change the value in the corresponding field.
You must manually define the properties for the user-specified Material type 21.
Elastic modulus: Typical units (depending on your unit system):
-
lb/in²
-
N/mm²
-
KPa
EH1 through EH9 define hot elastic moduli for operating conditions defined by Temperature and Pressures.
To edit the hot elastic moduli for operating conditions 4 through 9, double-click >> to display the Edit Elastic Properties dialog.
-
When the temperature for an operating condition falls above the maximum temperature or below the minimum temperature for the material, the software defines the corresponding EH value as 0.
-
Material properties in the database can be changed permanently using the Material Database Editor.
