Any Limits to the NX7 Material Properties List (phys_material.dat) 1

[MASawtell]

In the process of preping a NX7 phys_material.dat file for some company specific material densities and I would like to draw from the experience at EngTips about:

1) No Spaces is a Given for Name Field - but what about maximum amount of characters? Was hoping to use up to 35 characters, too much?

2) Been able to use periods, commas, dashs, percent signs, slashes, parentheses, and underscores - what about pound, more than, and less than signs?

3) Any specific Siemens weblinks that can be referenced on this? Haven't had a lot of time to deep dive GTAC libraries.

Why would you want to remove information from the file? Even if you are not using it now, it may be useful in the future.

Possibly some of it, I was just wondering whether it may simplify editing/adding new materials via notepad.
