  Hii,
  I named a new material as PP in Static structural. Then I opened static structural - Mechanical and I can see the material PP but I am not able to change the default material. Could you please let me know the solution as soon as possible? Thanks in advance.

  Hi @ajeeshajay25,
  Would you try closing the Mechanical window and refreshing it via Workbench setup?
  I tried at my end and did not face such an issue on clicking the newly created material in the engineering data tab.
  Another way if it still does not work, is that you might want to click on the checkbox next to it to create it as a parameter and set the material via the parameter set through Workbench.
  Hope that helps!
  Thanks,
  Sahil.

  Hi ajeeshajay25,
  You might want to try following the mentioned path and try setting the 'Mechanical View'
  option to 'None', to address the situation you're facing.
  
  Mechanical>File>Options>Mechanical>UI Options>Engineering Data>Mechanical View.
  
  Hope that helps!
  
  Thanks,
  Sahil
