downloading iproperties materials?????

[Anonymous]

Does anyone have any idea whether it is possible to download new materials into iproperties, and if it is, how might I go about it????

What exactly do you mean? iProperties and materials are two different
things.

I'm sorry. I was referring to the materials list under the physical tab in the iproperties menu. All I am able to apply to my objects are metals- but i need certain woods.

If you want to use a program to create new materials, here's the example
from the programming help.

Public Sub CreateMaterial()
' Set a reference to the part document.
' This assumes a part document is active.
Dim oPartDoc As PartDocument
Set oPartDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

' Create a new material.
Dim oNewMaterial As Material
Set oNewMaterial = oPartDoc.Materials.Add("My Material", 11.37)

' Define the other properties of the material
oNewMaterial.LinearExpansion = 5.73
oNewMaterial.PoissonsRatio = 0.38
' Arbitrarily assigns the first render style in the render styles
collection.
oNewMaterial.RenderStyle = oPartDoc.RenderStyles.Item(1)
oNewMaterial.SpecificHeat = 124.3
oNewMaterial.ThermalConductivity = 310.2
oNewMaterial.UltimateTensileStrength = 210.45
oNewMaterial.YieldStrength = 185.5
oNewMaterial.YoungsModulus = 76.37
End Sub

If you want to create new materials using the user-interface use the "Style
and Standard Editor..." command from the Format menu in Inventor. From here
you can manage all of the colors and materials that are available.

I think the latter piece of advice will be helpful to me- the first one was foreign to me, I'm unskilled as far as programming, etc. goes but finding a menu shouldn't be too difficult.
Thanks much!!!

I hope you're still checking this!! I feel so computer illiterate. I started a group and invited you to join but I wanted to find out if you got it. It's called Seamus's group. I know you aren't on often but let me know as soon as you can whether I'm doing this right!! 🙂

I didn't know if there was still an open issue here. I also don't know
anything about a group.

Looking back through this thread, do you want to create new materials using
a program, or is creating materials through the user-interface ok too?
