Problem Specification
1. Start-up and preliminary set-up
2. Specify element type and constants
3. Specify material properties
4. Specify geometry
5. Mesh geometry
6. Specify boundary conditions
7. Solve!
8. Postprocess the results
9. Validate the results
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.
