Sustainability Link for Custom Material

You can perform a sustainability analysis using custom materials. This is done by linking your custom material to a material with similar characteristics in the default SolidWorks Materials database. The analysis is then performed using the Sustainability characteristics of the SolidWorks material.

To link your custom material to a similar material:
  1. In the Material dialog box, in a custom materials library, select your custom material.
  2. In the Properties tab, in Material properties, click Select.
  3. In the Match Sustainability Information dialog box, select the material that is most similar to your custom material.
    Only materials with a link to the Sustainability database are listed.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Click Apply and Close.
