I was this weekend a bit playing around with the FEM.
What i thought is in the Fem you have to give the material properties to an object.
This is a fine but what i thought is that a lot of time you need to now only the mass of an part or assembly.
Would it not more logic to safe the material properties (and mass) in the part. When you want to change the parameter of one of the materials you can do that in the FEM.
That's more accessible than a long list of materials (without knowing witch one do you need to change)…
A lot of time you need only the total mass (transport, material shop, laws for lifting etc). so a part/ assembly calculation would be nice
Another thing i need an Aluminum (6061-T6) add to the material library so i created that. when i add this to the material library the material assigning doesn't work anymore.. also i found out that in the git a hole bunch of materials is present but not in the build… Why is this?
