It offers several methods for navigating through the database to select the materials you want
to use in your simulation.
Note:
The Material Palette provides a read-only view of material data. If you want to add new
materials, duplicate them, or edit material behavior data in the simulation domain, launch the Material Definition: Simulation
Domain dialog box.
The following image shows the
Material Palette with a number indicating each main component. Hover over parts of the dialog box to see the name for that section. Click any blue-bordered area for more information.
