  Hi everyone !
  I want to analyze a floating shelf made of wood and this is the picture of the model.
  My question is I don't know how to set the material of wood.
  I can't find relevent videos or articles for this. Could you give me some advice.
  Thank you very much!

  What kind of properties do you have for wood? Are you modeling as orthotropic elastic or is there some other properties that you have? You need field variables if the properties change as a funciton of frequency, x, y etc. If you have constant values just use the Orthotropic elasitcity menu item.
