The table below describes the material briefcase for fluid simulations.

Location: content_install_dir/resources/materials.

File Name Description
DS-EngineeringFluids.3dxml A set of 10 fluid materials suited to CFD simulations.

The Family attribute name for each material imported from this briefcase is Fluid, and 8 of the 10 material definitions include further information about the material in the Description field.

Each material includes data in the simulation domain only, and each material has one material behavior named Behavior.1.
