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, refer to the See Also topics.
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.
