I am adding Radel R to our material database in Inventor 11. I would like some input on which properties are entered into the material database interface in Inventor 11.

Referencing the Radel R link that I have provided (

http://www.solvayadvancedpolymers.com/static/wma/pdf/1/6/0/R5_1_500.pdf)

do I use the Flexural Modulus as the Young's Modulus? Do I use the Flexural Strength as the Yield Strength? Do I use the Tensile Strength as the Ultimate Tensile Strength.

I want to enter this data correctly in order to achieve an accurate FEA Analysis result.

Thanks in advance!
Tony
