The properties of Isotropic material are uniformly in all directions. Therefore, only one Young's modulus, one Poisson’s ratio and one Tension (Tensile) Strength is neededthe tensile stress limit is needed as well as the density value.

3D Transversely Isotropic Material

...

For the material limits the Tension Strength in build direction (Axis) and for the in-plane directions as well as the transversal Shear Strength can be set up. With the Failure Criteria FFF Thumb Rule and directional dependent Tsai-Hill the different material limits can be considered.

Optional Optionally, the Compression Strength can also be set up. With the directional dependent Tsai-Wu Failure Criterion the difference between tension and compression can be considered besides the directional dependency.

Choose 3D Orthotropic to create a 3D Transversely Isotropic material , and leave the values for the third axis (E3=x) empty.
