  Hi~
  How to define material number between the following two menu paths:
  1. Main Menu>Preprocessor>Material Props>Material Models
  2. Main Menu>Solution>Load Step Opts>Other>Change Mat Props>Material Models
  It all starts with Material Models 1.
  Thank you so much.

  Hi Neil,
  Go to Main Menu>Preprocessor>Material Props>Material Models
  In the Material Models window, go to Material -> New Model

  Normally apdl commands are used not the UI of MAPDL.
  TO define a new material see MP command:
