Setting the Block Material

Select the appropriate option for the Block Material. The Block Material is set to Body, by default, where the block materials are assigned based by the body.

You can also select Component such that block materials are assigned by the component. You can use this option so that all bodies in a multi-body part would be in the same material (body when transferred to Ansys Mechanical).

The following examples show the difference in the blocking structure in SpaceClaim and in downstream systems (like Mechanical) when the Block Material is set to Body or Component.
