Step 3: Specify material properties

Enter the Define Material Model Behavior menu

Select Main Menu > Preprocessor > Material Props > Material Models

In the Define Material Model Behavior menu, double-click on Structural, Linear, Elastic, and Isotropic.

Specify Material properties

Enter E for Young's modulus EX, nu for Poisson's Ratio PRXY.

Click OK.

Double-click on Density under Structural.

Enter rho for DENS.

Click OK.

This completes the specification for Material Model #1. Close the Define Material Model Behavior menu.
