I want to show items from my materials list as parameters. I can get things like density using DEN=MATERIAL_PARAM("MASS_DENSITY")working, but I can't get the material name to work as a parameter.

Does anyone know how this can be done.

Thanks

Hello Hayden,

Use the following syntax:

MATERIAL = MATERIAL_PARAM("BEND_TABLE")

Note that you must fill in the material name (ex: Al-6061) for the BEND_TABLE field in the material file. No spaces are permited!!!

Thanks Hora, I've done that.

Do you know if any extra fieldscan be added to the material parameters list?
