Reply To: Engineering Data: Making the list longer than Structural Steel

Default Material

Structural Steel is the default solid material in ANSYS Mechanical (and AIM).

However, if you are always working in a different material, you can change the default material for new projects.

Open Engineering Material, press the Engineering Data Sources button at the top, then select Favorites.

Right click on the material you want and select Default Solid Material. This shows Aluminum being selected.

Now all new bodies brought into Mechanical will automatically be Aluminum.
