Hi. May I ask if I add an APDL Command indicating the stress-strain concrete of the material, will the solution not recognize the other properties for the same material that I inserted on Engineering Data (Conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, etc.)?

Hi,

If you don't explicitly overwrite the original property data from Engineering Data, it will be incorporated in the solve. If you would like to ommit that property data, you can issue the following at the beginning of your APDL command object:

mpdele,all,matid ! deletes Engineering Data properties initialized by MP command

tbdele,all,matid ! deletes Engineering Data properties initialized by TB command
