8.20. Material Library

A Material Library is supported with DFMD files. These files are located in the Program Files\ANSYS Inc\V251\ANSYS\bin\\Motion\Material Library\Structural\ folder. The DFMD file supports material properties such as Material Name, Density, Young's Modulus, and XY-Poisson's Ratio as shown in the figure below.

Contents of the DFMD file

The DFMD file contains four properties - Name, Density, YoungsModulus, and PoissonsRatio and their corresponding values. When the Motion Preprocessor is started, the preprocessor loads the DFMD files and their properties into the program. If a DFMD file is added to or removed from the folder, the material name and its properties from the file appear or disappear in the Material Library dialog.
