To use materials computed in Material Designer in subsequent analyses, connect the Material Designer component system to the Engineering Data cell of the downsteam analysis system. The computed material will appear in the Engineering Data page and can be used the same way as built-in or user-defined materials.

For composite materials, you may wish to use ACP to create a composite layup and postprocess the analysis. In this case, the following example workflow is used:
