The Concept Materials command, introduced as a proxy, lets you manage this PLM Material reference. In addition, you can share the Concept model with a valid material distribution without publishing confidential information about the material properties in the OEM specific database. To apply a Concept Material to FE Properties, each Concept Material has a unique identifier (Concept Material ID). A valid mesh for simulations is only generated if you connect the Concept Material with a reference to a PLM Material in 3DExperience database. A Concept material has the following attributes:
In the Concept Material Menu, you can enter any text as Concept material name and a reference to a PLM Material. Use the Search options to select a material from the 3DEXPERIENCE database.
