How can I add a new material such as HDPE to the material library?
• Go to Components > Engineering Libraries and click the plus sign next to “Material Libraries” • Right click MaterialLibrary.xml and choose “add item” – a new material entry will appear at the bottom of the list. • Right click this new material entry, choose rename and enter the name (such as ‘HDPE’). • On the right side, enter the friction coefficients, Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s ratio for your new material, then click close. Note: The Young’s Modulus and Poisson’s ratio are only necessary if you need to use the automatic wave speed calculator tool, under Tools > Wave Speed Calculator. If you would like to create a new engineering library (xml file) instead of altering the default MaterialLibrary.xml, simply right click on “Material Libraries”, choose “create library”, choose a location to save the file, then repeat steps 2-4 above, replacing ‘MaterialLibrary.xml’ with the name of your library.
