Exercise 2: Browse Materials

Navigate the Browse tree to search for material folders and records.

  1. Select the Table: MaterialUniverse and the Subset: All materials.
  2. Browse for a record for Stainless Steel
  3. Browse for a record for Concrete

    Generic records are records at the folder level and give general information on the material, rather than data on a specific variant. They have their own icon: .

  4. Open a specific Polypropylene record.

    Double-click the record name in the tree to view the datasheet.

    Click next to the property name to view design notes, which provide background information on properties, test notes, and selection guidelines. For more information on the underlying science, follow the hyperlink to the Science Note.

    Right-click the datasheet to see a menu with further actions, such as locating the record in the Browse tree, copying and printing the datasheet, or exporting the data to an FEA package format.

    Find processes that can shape Polypropylene using the ProcessUniverse link at the bottom of the datasheet

  5. Find processes that can shape Polypropylene using the ProcessUniverse link at the bottom of the datasheet.
