How to create Material properties file

      Hello, 
      I've been trying to get a *.mat file of nitrogen and helium to calculate mixtures
      This archive should look like this:
      Property    Value    Unit
      Medium:    helium
      Pressure:    50    [ bar ]
      Temperature:    526.85    [ Celsius ]
      Density:    3.026    [ kg/m3 ]
      Specific Enthalpy:    4185.000    [ kJ/kg ]
      Specific Entropy:    28.38000    [ kJ/kg K ]
      Specific isobar heat capacity cp:    5.191000    [ kJ/kg K ]
      Specific isochor heat capacity cv:    3.122000    [ kJ/kg K ]
      Isobar coefficient of thermal expansion:    1.240000    [ 106 Pa s m-1 ]
      Heat conductance:    308.0000    [ 10-3 (W / m * K)]
      Dynamic viscosity:    39.50000    [ 10-6 (Pa s) ]
      Kinematic viscosity:    13.0535360211    [ 10-6 m2 / s ]
      Thermal diffusivity:    196.0000    [ 10-7 m2 / s ]
      Prandtl-Number:    0.665
      Coefficient of compressibility z:    1
      speed of sound:    1675.000    [ m / s ]

      Do you have any idea how to create properly this file or how to obtain from ansys?

      Which solver do you plan on working with?

        I want to use matlab

      Isn't there a file definition in Matlab's Help? I'd be a little surprised if any of the Ansys tools linked up directly, although some of the Materials tools might.

        And for python? Or there's any other solver to work directly?

      We have a material database of some form in most of the solvers, and also functions in the Granta tools. The latter typically don't have fluids and the former are designed for use in the specific solver. You can export material libraries or properties, but possibly not for Matlab as it's not an Ansys product.
