11. Materials

The Materials panel allows generating new material entries, renaming, and applying them to specific volumes.

Fig. 11.1 shows an isotropic material entry for linear static analysis.

Fig. 11.1 Isotropic material

Möbius features structural isotropic and anisotropic Material types.

Fig. 11.2 Material types

All anisotropic material types have contextual documentation illustrating the adopted convention (as exemplified in Fig. 11.3). This pop-up can be visualized hovering the information icon (i), or opened with a click.

Note

Anisotropic material optimization analysis can be a complex subject.
