You must check material allowables and other physical property data for the particular code being used. While Hexagon PPM makes every attempt to keep the material database up-to-date, the codes are subject to change frequently, and the accuracy of the database is not guaranteed.

The Material Database Editor does not modify the data in the material database delivered with CAESAR II. Any changes that you make are saved to a secondary database, which, by default, is named umat1.umd and is located in the \System directory. You can specify a different secondary database using User Material Database Filename in the Configuration Editor. This setup permits multiple user-supplied database files to be used on a single system.
