Hi, 

I am new to ANSYS workbench and I am trying to model a material not contained in ANSYS software by an experimental density and Poisson ratio. The Young's Modulus value changes based on the x-position of the model. Is there a way I can have Young's Modulus value change based on a position? I have only been able to change it based on Temperature and cannot figure out how to change it. 

Thank you!

Thank you for the quick response. I am having trouble accessing the link as it will not allow me to sign in for the support space as I have my license through my university. Is there another way to view the link?
