Hi, I started using Ansys not so long ago for some projects, I was looking for the material Hot-Rolled, Low-Carbon Sheet Steel but I'm not sure if the program has it by default, If I would have to make it or if it can be downloaded and add it to the material library.

Hi Bruno,

Check the materials available under the Nonlinear Materials section from the Engineering Data Sources tab (screenshot below) in Engineering Data of Ansys Workbench. You can also look up the properties of your material online (such as the hardening or stress-strain curve, and implement them into Workbench using Plasticity models). Alternatively, you can perform characterization experiments on your material to obtain its behavior.
