FRP - Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic

[oieuya]

Anyone know if FRP is available in Autodesk Inventor's material library? I don't see it there but maybe it falls under a different name. If it's not in the library is there any way to add new material?

Go to the Material Browser to add a New Material.

Thanks JD. This is good to know for future reference but I actually found the material in the library after all.

Would you be able to share where you found the FRP materials in Inventor?  Is this just the material or also the shapes in Content Center?

Hello, It's been a while since I used inventor so my apologies if this is not clear. In the above post I mentioned how I found FRP. This is not entirely correct as I found GFRP and another varient. I found these in the Autodesk and Inventor Material Libraries. What I did was find the material properties of the FRP I needed for my part and followed JD's instructions on how to create a new material. See image 2 and follow instructions above. I hope this helps.

FRP properties attached. You should verify these with another source.

Apologies but my attachment will not take.
