Importing default simulation data to all material cards

In MI Materials Gateway for Ansys Workbench, you can import default data for simulation to all Granta MI material cards in your Engineering Data component.

Prerequisites: This feature requires appropriate defaults to be specified in your Granta MI system.

Importing default data in bulk is useful if your Engineering Data component contains material cards with 'CAD data only', and you want to import default data for all of them.

  • If your Granta MI system is configured to use Simulation records, each material card is updated using the default simulation record for the CAD material, and the default model type for the simulation record.

    If the default simulation record or model type is not available, the default material model for the CAD material is imported.

  • If your Granta MI system is not configured to use simulation records, the default material model for the CAD material is imported to each material card.
CAUTION: This will import default data (where possible) to every material card in your Engineering Data component that has a Granta MI material reference, and will overwrite any existing data, regardless of which material cards you select in the Imported material cards list.
To import default data to all material cards:
At the top right of the Imported material cards list, click Update all material cards with default simulation data.
