Hi all,

Ok, I have a bunch of parts that are made from this material and its not part of the standard or any custom libary I have found.

I know how to copy materials and rename them but want to add the correct information incase someone does to a FEA on them. I do not have a Mathweb subscription and would like the cliff notes theater version upon how to either convert or if someone has the material please post material or screen shot

I also found this but still not real clear upon how the variable were converted.

PA6 – Polyamide 6 PA6 GF15

Thanks in advance,

No one else has this question

Create the material with proper density. Leave everything else 0 or whatever small SW allow.
Whoever doing FEA on plastic need to know what they need to use.

  Hi,
  
  I copied Nylon 6/10 and made the Density the one from the Spec sheet I could find and left the rest, but noted it in the Source, hopefully it will noticed, although it would be nice to know how to get the values without wasting a day looking for formulas and a legend to sort them out as I haven't had to deal with this much as most companies I have been with use standard materials or have their own library created.
  
  Regards,

    Metal is easy. Plastic has more variables. With all the new composite, fiber fill, you can't keep up.
    You can make a folder "Non-FEA Material".
