Material database for metals and polymers
- Anne Düchting (Unlicensed)
This is a composition from different material data sheets and only suggestions for material properties. MSC Apex Generative Design needs the density, Young's Modulus and the Poisson ratio as an input.
Import database into MSC Apex Generative Design
All data can be automatically integrated into MSC Apex Generative Design by using a macro. The hotkey for executing this macro is ctrl+F1. The material data is imported and a material can be chosen.
