<\/a>I am trying to update my material database for all of you to use.
\nI have not had much time to look up material info and some special materials I’m having trouble looking them up, so I’m asking for help.
\nIf you have a material that you would like me to add, please email <\/a>me the info as needed in IPS (inch, pound, second) units. (It’s easier for me to add all of them per one unit)<\/p>\n

The format I need is per the following example:<\/p>\n

1. Classification – Aluminum alloys
\n2. Material name – Alum 2011
\n3. Texture – machined\\brushed\\cast\\etc
\n4. Other texture\/color info that is special.
\nPhysical properties example<\/span>
\nEX “Elastic modulus”<\/span> value=70326525952.00000
\nNUXY “Poisson’s ratio”<\/span> value=0.330000
\nALPX “Thermal expansion coefficient”<\/span> value=0.000023
\nDENS “Mass density”<\/span> value=2823.349854
\nKX “Thermal conductivity”<\/span> value=142.100006
\nC “Specific heat”<\/span> value=962.780029
\nSIGXT “Tensile strength”<\/span> value=379211648.00000
\nSIGYLD “Yield strength”<\/span> value=296474560.00000<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>Attached is an example screen shot of what the material properties look like within SolidWorks.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
