This type of composite is weaved, so you have to define that as well, go to  Physical Properties  > (Drag) Density and Ply Type on to the new material.
In Property out line Enter 0.057 lb/in^3 for the density. Also, expand ply type and select  Woven&nbsp   from the pull down menu.

Next step, we need to define the stress limits and tsai-wu constants for failure analysis.
Expand  Expand  Strength&nbsp >  > (Drag) Orthotropic Stress Limits and Tsai-Wu Constants on to the new material, and the properties .  Enter the property values that are shown below:

5250 Core

Repeat the steps above to enter Enter the properties for the 5250 Core as was done for the the weave. The values are displayed in the figure below:

Steel for the Suspension Links

Suspension links are normal isotropic materials. I have It has purposely been made it to be really stiff, so we can see more deformation on that the deformation of the monocoque can be seen more clearly. Here are the properties to use:
