Displays the material name. Materials are specified either by name or number. All available material names and their CAESAR II material numbers are displayed in the list. Because this list is quite long, typing a partial material name (such as A106) allows you to select from matching materials.
-
Materials 1-17 define generic materials without code allowable stresses.
-
Material 18 defines the cold spring element for cut short.
-
Material 19 defines the cold spring element for cut long.
-
Material 20 defines Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) pipe.
-
Material 21 represents user-defined material.
-
Materials 101 and greater define materials specific to the active piping code associated with a pipe element.
When you select a material from the database, the physical properties as well as the allowable stresses are obtained and placed in the dialog box.
If you change the temperature or piping code later, these allowable stress values are automatically updated.
For user-defined material, type the corresponding properties.
