material create
Allows you to create a new material in the model database.
The material can be specified with the essential properties, namely, 1) Young’s modulus, 2) Poisson’s ratio, and 3) Density. Any new material can be specified by entering these properties in the material database.
Format:

material_name= | a new material |
adams_id = | adams_id |
comments = | string |
youngs_modulus = | pressure |
poissons_ratio = | real |

Description:
Parameter | Value Type | Description |
|---|
material _name | A New Material | Specifies a new name for the material to be created |
adams_id | Adams_id | Specifies an integer used to identify this element in Adams database |
comments | String | Specifies comments, if any, on the element |
Young’s modulus | Pressure | Specifies the modulus of elasticity of the material |
poisson’s ratio | Real | Specifies the data table size in pixels or units relative to Adams window |
density | Density | Specifies the density of the material |
Extended Definition:
1. The material name specifies a new material to be defined. The ‘adams_id’ specifies an integer used to identify this element in the Adams data file. When you use the FILE ADAMS_DATA_SET WRITE command, Adams View writes an Adams data file for your model. Adams requires that each modeling element be identified by a unique integer identifier. If you use this parameter to specify a non-zero identifier, Adams View will use it in the corresponding statement in the Adams data file.
You may also enter zero as an identifier, either explicitly or by default. The next time you write an Adams file, Adams View will replace the zero with a unique, internally-generated identifier. Adams View will permanently store this identifier with the element just as if you had entered it yourself. Normally, you would let all identifiers default to zero, and Adams View would generate the identifiers for you. You are never required to enter a non-zero identifier. You only need to specify it if, for some reason, you wish to control the Adams file output.
2. The ‘comment’ specifies comments for the object being created or modified. When an Adams Solver data file (.adm) is read into Adams View, all comments associated with a statement (from the end of the previous statement through the end of the current statement) are stored with the object. Comments in the data file can be associated with model. These comments must follow the title statement and be followed by the comment 'END OF MODEL COMMENTS'. This string must be uppercase. When an Adams Solver data file is written, the comments for an object are written before the statement corresponding to the object.
3. The Young’s Modulus specifies modulus of elasticity for the beam material and the poisson’s ratio is also entered for the material. Specifies the part density and that the mass properties of the part are to be automatically calculated. The calculated mass properties are based upon the solid geometry that belongs to the part.
