Manage physical materials in the Simulation workspace

The Fusion Material library is read-only, and you cannot add, remove, or edit anything within it. You also cannot edit material properties within any user-defined library. Instead, create a new material entry in your Favorites library, then add it to your user-defined library.

The Materials Browser dialog lists all the materials in the Fusion libraries and enables you to

  1. View all the following properties of each material in the databases:

    • Identity
    • Appearance
    • Physical properties
  2. Add materials to your Favorites folder so you can find them easily

  3. Edit material properties in your Favorites folder

  4. Create new materials in your Favorites folder

  5. Create new user-defined databases for your custom materials.

Note: You can only create new or custom materials and edit material properties in the Favorites library.
