Assign Materials

The next step is to define the Materials. When a simulation is created, a Material folder is included in the simulation structure. This Material folder is populated whenever you specify override materials in place of the originally assigned material.

1. Double-click the Material folder. In the Assign Materials dialog box, a spreadsheet-type list containing all the parts and their materials displays.
2. In the Override Material column, click the cell corresponding with the Bolt component.
3. In the drop-down list, select Steel.
4. Right-click the cell, and click Copy.
5. For the following parts, multi-select the cells in the Override Material column, right-click, and click Paste.
   • Bracket
   • Mount
   • Washer
   • Nut
   Note: All occurrences of the Washer are updated at one time.
6. Click OK.
