View and manage imported material cards

All the material cards that have been imported from Granta MI are displayed in the Imported material cards panel. You can use this list to review your imported material cards, update them (if your Granta MI database is version-controlled), or remove them.

Each row of the list shows a summary of a material card that has been imported to your CAE application.

Note: In ANSA, the list only includes material cards that are compatible with your current finite element solver.

To see more information about a material, right-click it and select View a datasheet.
This displays information from the Granta MI database.
To update a version-controlled material, right-click in the Material column and select Update.

Note: This will re-import the material model using the latest versions of both the material and the model definition, replacing the previously-imported data. If the model requires parameter values, the previous values will be used again wherever possible.
To delete an imported material card, right-click it and select Delete.

Status icons identify any material cards that need further action:


Status		Meaning
	Missing	This material or model definition can no longer be found in your Granta MI database (for example, because it has been deleted or withdrawn). Where possible, its name is shown to help you find a suitable replacement.
	Out-of-date	In version-controlled Granta MI systems: A newer version of this material or model definition is available in the Granta MI database. You can right-click to update the imported material card.
	CAD data only	In MI Materials Gateway for Ansys Workbench: This material has been transferred from NX or Creo using the Workbench Associative Interface or a JT file, and does not yet have data for simulation. You can either right-click to import a material model to this material card only, or click to import default simulation data to all material cards.
