I am adding properties to a new material in the Engineering Data tab in Workbench and would like to add a temperature dependant tensile yield stress.

I have seen that some materials provided by Ansys have this functionality (e.g. Aluminum alloy, wrought, 2219, T62). However the default yield stress window does not allow me to input tabular data. How can I make this parameter temperature dependant?

So far the only solution I have been able to find has been to export the engineering data material as an .xml file, change the data manually to include a temperature and then import the .xml file. However, I am wondering if there is a simpler way to do this from workbench directly. 

Would greatly appreciate any help with this!

Hi,

First define a hardening model, and then you can define the tensile yield strength and temperature.
