File Name Description

DS-Engineering.3dxml

A set of 116 materials suited to engineering apps, including 81 aluminum alloys, 22 steels, and 13 plastics.

Each material imported from this briefcase has data specified in the appearance and simulation domains, and each material is saved to the database with one of the following three labels in its Family attribute: Steel, Aluminum Alloys, or Plastics.

Each material contains an appearance and a simulation domain.

The metals include two behaviors:

  • With Plasticity (Default)
  • Without Plasticity

The plastics include only one behavior: Linear Elastic (Default).
DS-Standard.3dxml

A set of 18 default sample materials. Each material in this briefcase includes data in the simulation domain and in the appearance domain, the drafting domain, or in both of these domains.

A preview of this briefcase shows 90 objects.

Every material imported from this briefcase is saved with its Family attribute set to DS-Standard.

Within the simulation domain, each material has two defined behaviors:

  • A default behavior, elastic-plastic plus thermal.
  • A second behavior, elastic-thermal: a subset of the default behavior with the plasticity properties removed.
