I appologize if this is redundant questions. <\/p>\n<p>Two questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is there an easy way to create a custom material library based on a Excel-file? Like a template that can be filled with material data and converted to a xml-file and imported by Ansys. <\/li>\n<li>Is there an easy way to share a custom material library with colleagues? <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Background:<\/p>\n<p>The idea about using an Excel-file is that it would probably be easy to update it with new materials and generate a new xml-file that can be imported to Ansys. <\/p>\n<p>Lets say that we have a 10 specific materials that we generally use in our components and we decide to add all these materials to a custom library that we now have created (either from an xml-file or from manually adding them). This custom library (file) should now be placed on a disc and available for other colleagues, so they can import it to their model and use those materials.<\/p>\n<p>Kind regards, Albin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-167218","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-excel-2","topic-tag-export","topic-tag-library","topic-tag-material","topic-tag-materials-library"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_btv_view_count":["4054"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_bbp_subscription":["25148"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_notification_enabled":["53782"],"_bbp_topic_id":["167218"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27815"],"_bbp_engagement":["25148","65573"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["5"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["208049"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["208049"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2022-03-17 14:01:42"]},"test":"albin-linderstamsaabgroup-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167218","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/167218\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167218"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
