Assigning Materials

The left and right shells are made of Alloy Steel, while the middle shell is made of Stainless Steel.

To assign Alloy Steel to the left and right shells:

  1. In the Simulation study tree, Ctrl + select the SurfaceBody 2 and SurfaceBody 3 icons.
  2. Right-click the two selected icons and select Apply/Edit Material .
    The Material dialog box appears.
  3. From SOLIDWORKS materials, select Alloy Steel under Steel.
  4. Click Apply.
  5. Click Close.
    The software assigns Alloy Steel to the left and right shells and a check mark appears on their icons.
Similarly, assign Stainless Steel (ferritic) under Steel from the SOLIDWORKS materials library to the middle shell (SurfaceBody 1).
