Define the Section

We need to create a material and a section definition for our structural model. The material definition only needs a name at this point. The complete material definition with Ramberg-Osgood parameters will be defined in a later step.

  1. Switch to the Property Module and click Material > Create.
  2. Name the new material Plastic.
  3. Click OK.

Now that we have created the Plastic user material, we will assign it to the coupon geometry.

  1. Click Section > Create and click Continue.
  2. Choose the Plastic material created above and click OK.
  3. Click Assign > Section.
  4. Select the entire part from the viewport.
  5. Click Done and click OK to assign the Plastic material to the section.
