Physics Setup

Create a material

Drag Static Structural into the Project Schematic page.

We have not defined the material for this model so we will do that before we proceed. Double click on Engineering Data. Click on "click here to add a new material" to create a new material. Name the new material "bone". Expand Linear Elastic and double click on Isotropic Elasticity.

In the properties window, expand Isotropic Elasticity and enter 1e9 Pa for Young's Modulus and 0.3 for Poisson's Ratio.

Assign Material

The default material used for Mechanical is structural. We need to change it to the new material we defined earlier (Tissue). In the outline window, expand Geometry and highlight Solid 1. The bone model will now be highlighted in green, meaning it is being selected. Right below the outline window you will see "Details of Solid 1". Expand Material, and change the assignment to Bone. The material properties we defined for Bone will now be assigned to the bone model.
