Reply To: Change Material Property

[zzhang868]

Question 1: When you say "First assign the materials to all individual parts," do you mean to do this via the GUI or APDL?
Question 2: How do I find the ID of each part?
Question 3: Could you please provide a sample code in APDL for assigning different materials to 3 parts, where each part has a different material (Material 1, Material 2, and Material 3)?

Question 4: I’m wondering if this is the correct way (in the screenshot) to find the part ID.
Question 5: However, since I have many parts in different locations, is there an easier way to identify the IDs without manually checking each part? Currently, I can only see the part names, and since I created them using copy and paste, they all have the same name.

Question 6: Could you also provide an example of how to change the material properties for a specific part?
Question 7: If the material properties are generated from a Gaussian distribution (with a given mean and variance), how can this be implemented using APDL?

Many thanks for your kind help!
