Changing the Appearance of Materials

You can make a material appear more realistic by applying color and opacity. For any default material that already exists in the simulation, the appearance properties are preset for optimum visualization. Any newly created materials will not have any preset appearance properties.

Note: These changes will apply wherever this material is assigned in this simulation.

Select the body in your geometry for which you want to change its appearance.
Select Materials in the ribbon.
Under the material options, view all material properties, then click Appearance to expand.
