Adding New Materials to an RMxprt Project
You can add a new material to a project or to the global user-defined material library. To make the new project material available to all projects, you must export the material to a global user-defined material library.
To assign a material to an object:
- Click Tools > Edit Libraries > Materials.
- Click Add Material.
- Type a name for the new material in the Material Name text box.
- In the View/Edit Material for section, select whether this material should be available for the Active Design only, for This Product only or for All Products. The selection makes a difference in the properties displayed.
- In the Properties of the Material table, specify the Type and the Value for the following material properties, displayed when Active Design is selected:
- Relative Permeability.
- Bulk Conductivity
- Magnetic Coercivity (including the Magnitude of the vector)
- Core Loss Model - model selections for this property may enable access to coefficient calculation windows, and enable additional properties.
- Mass Density
- Optionally, change the Units for any of the properties.
- Click Validate
Material to verify the settings you have specified are valid
for the existing properties.
If the material setup is valid, a green check mark appears below the Validate Material button. - Click OK
to save the new material.
The Edit Libraries dialog box reappears, with the new material added to the list of materials. - Click OK to close the Edit Libraries dialog box.
In the Project Manager tree, you can also right-click Materials, and select Edit Library.
The Edit Libraries dialog box appears.
The View/Edit Material dialog box appears.
Note: When you select
certain Type or Value options, additional parameters
appear beneath some properties in the same way that Magnitude
appears beneath Magnetic Coercivity.
As necessary, specify values for any additional parameters that appear.
If you select This Product, additional fields are displayed.
