European Steel Materials

We need European materials in the Materials Library

A selection can be found here British Standard EuroNorm Steels

Possibly more importantly, we need to change the Yield and Ultimately Strengths relative to the thickest section.

This could be done by having different materials for the different thicknesses, ideally by linking a particular parameter through an algorithm to the Yield and Ultimate Strengths.

Finally, we need to edit the material name, possibly via iLogic, so instead of it saying, "Steel, EN10025, S355, THK12" it would be reported in the drawings as something like, "S355J2WP"

These materials are important for accurate F.E.A

It would be great if common materials like that were installed by default for you.  But you do have the full capability of adding and editing your own materials in the Material Browser.  And I'm sure there are iLogic samples of adding Materials in the API Guide or over in the Inventor Customization forum.

"But you do have the full capability of adding and editing your own materials in the Material Browser. "

The materials I refer to are standard materials that are used ALL the time and should have been included from the beginning.

I've already done many of these and posted them to the Inv forum. However, I need them for F.E.A and not Appearance, we need to de-rate materials as they get thicker to meeting British Standards and EuroCode 3.

This now makes it a monumental task.

As we work in Product engineering we don't have the luxury of customising Inv as each client has different requirements.

If Adesk could meet us half way it would be a huge bonus.

I wonder if it would be possible to create importable libraries of materials in batch, and make it doable in such a way that steel manufacturers/wholesalers could create material libraries. In the same way that some seal manufacturers distribute 3D CAD files.

@Anonymous that's a good idea, I think I've seen other ideas on here talking about batch export or import as an Excel file.  Unfortunately the closest is by sharing an already created Material Library via an *.adsklib file like in this post: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/export-and-import-materials-library-with-excel/td-p/7424695

So the best way for manufacturers to share the materials related to their products is to either pay another company to create the materials in Inventor, Revit, etc. for them, or buy a software license themselves to create a library on their own.

@Anonymous and @philip1009 Adesk already have the code, they could create a stand-alone that could edit the library files or certain parts, such as the material properties.

Copying and pasting a table from the web into M$ Excel and then importing that into a Library editor would make life so much easier.

I have IV2019 .

I cannot modify the library by addyng S355 and S275 or 24T, 16 T, 8T the most common steel part I am using,

Wicj is is the best equivalent I can select from data base of IV ?

[Anonymous]

Can anybody share a steel data base with EN standard?

It would be good to have a range of European and global standards which could be filtered in the same way as the fastener libraries.

British Standard EuroNorm Steels, still missing !

I just posted a library on a thread here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-support/part-material-in-either-din-or-european-standard-e...

And yes, some European standards are still missing, and above all: An editor that easily lets you change/add/set properties for a lot of materials at once.
