2.3.8.1.5.  Key "Material"

If this key is set, the material should be used with all physical properties.

The material name must be identical to one of the names in the material list (iProperties -> Physical tab -> Material)

By default, the value of the Material(is3dpart) key is a complex VBS expression. It can be customized as required.

Default:

Material(is3dpart)=?context.TranslateStringInGlobalOptionArray("MATMAP","",GetObject
 ("iface.calcnameservice").start(0).Format("<CLASSPROP(cns,CNSPHYPROP,CNSMAT)>").value())

The default is a combination with material mapping.

Material mapping is used in order to map the internal PARTsolutions material name onto the CAD system material name.

[Note]Note

The untranslated material name will be transferred; in other words, it will be the same in all languages.

By default, the material name is taken from the CNS classification. Details can be found under Section 2.2.9, “Material mapping ”.

The determined name is then mapped along with the material table under block [MatMap] to the CAD system's material names.

The material name must be identical to one of the names defined in the library given under the key "MaterialDirectories".

Please also note the information on material mapping (block [MatMap]).
