Dalton includes libraries for materials, fluids, and equipment.
You can work with the default libraries in Dalton, or create your own sets of data if you're using specific materials or equipment.
The three default libraries are equipment.json, fluids.json, and materials.json.
To find the Dalton libraries on a Windows system:
- In the Start menu, type: %AppData%/Autodesk/Project Dalton/, and then press enter.
To find the Dalton libraries on OS X:
- Go to the Resources folder of the Application bundle
Every time you add, edit, or delete a material or equipment in Dalton, the corresponding library is updated.
Important: Whether it is used in its standalone version or in a CAD-embedded version, Dalton uses the same set of libraries. Therefore, changing the settings of a specific library item impacts all the programs which use Dalton. For example, modifying the equipment parameters in the standalone version of Dalton will also modify the equipment parameters for all the CAD-embedded versions.
