Physical Materials - Concrete is missing

Anonymous

Hi there, 

Despite my best efforts I can't find Concrete in the Physical Materials panel.

I mean - concrete seems like one of the basic materials that should be there?

How can this be fixed?

Concrete material is available only for rendering purposes in the appearance library of Fusion 360, not in the physical materials library because concrete is a composite material.

That being said, if you want to run an FEA simulation, you have to create a custom material that reflects the physical characteristics of your own mix (sand+gravel+water+portland+steel bars).

But there was an answer.  "Concrete" is meaningless without specifications.  You can create your material to your needed specifications.

 

Now about the topic "Sand".

What are your specifications for your sand?
