Add materials to Cosmos Express

overkill04 · May 18, 2006

Hi all

Is it possible to add materials or material properties to Cosmos Express.

I want to input some Yield Strength values for PVC so I can analyze some forces because Cosmos tells me that it doesn't have a yield strength value for PVC.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cosmosexpress won't do non-linear analyses so it's waste of time putting in a yield strength value.

CosmosXpress uses SolidWorks & Custom Material List, so you can apply a material either from the tree (edit Material) or if you haven’t assigned a material, CosmosXpress will ask you to assign a material when you start your analysis.

Hope this helps!
