Define the Element Properties

  1. In the Model tree, under Idealizations, check for any existing definitions under the standard categories, such as Solids and Shells. Solid 1, shown below, is an example of an existing definition:

    If there are any existing definitions, right-click Idealizations > Delete All. Doing this ensures that you won't have unwanted materials appearing in the part mesh and participating in the analysis.

  2. In the Model tree, right-click on Idealizations and choose New.
  3. Rename the property to Solid Property.
  4. Select Solid Elements from the Type drop-down menu, and ensure that Material is set to Propeller Material. Accept the other defaults.

  5. Click OK to create the property.
