Physics Setup

Recall that during the Start-Up step, we added a material with the desired values of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. This just added the material to the list of materials available within this project. We need to assign this material from the material list to the model as shown in the following video. Otherwise, ANSYS will use the Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio for structural steel which is the default. This step is easy to overlook.
