Materials Library

Anthony Bear Nov 8, 2013 8:49 AM

I am looking for an expanded Materials Library for SolidWorks Professional.
I currently have 2013 SP4, and it's relevant library, but it doesn't contain a material for which I need... specifically Grade 100 Forged Steel Alloy.
Are there any expanded materials libraries available for download?

Thanks in advance!

    Eh, tried, but A) they don't have the material for which I'm looking right now, and B) I don't want to have to pay $100 for a membership that I may only use a couple times per year... I guess I'll just work with the standards supplied by SW Pro.
    
    Thanks for trying Greg!

      the paid membership lets you download an importable file - you can always type the information in (once you find it anyway).

        Thanks Jeremy I did sign up for the free membership, but for 1/2 hour of searching, I still couldn't find the material for which I was looking yesterday... I couldn't even find the material properties via google search I guess Grade 100 Alloy Steel (ASTM A973, A973M) isn't a popular material except for chains! Which, of course, is why I was looking for it!
        
        Thanks to both of you!
