7.6. Refresh Materials

Use the Refresh Materials option to update the materials in your Mechanical model from the Engineering Data workspace. This option loads material definitions and properties from Engineering Data directly into the Mechanical application. It saves you the step of accessing the Project schematic in the Workbench application and using the Update Upstream Components command to refresh the materials.


Note:  Refresh Materials is only available if the Mechanical application was opened from the Workbench application.


To refresh the materials in your model, do one of the following:

  • Right-click the Model object and choose Refresh Materials.

  • Right-click the Materials object and choose Refresh Materials.
