They all come from a predefined material library.nWhat is the easiest way to parameterize which material I&#8217;d like to assign to my different geometries? For example, if I have 5 bodies and 10 materials and I would like to run a study to see which material combination amongst those 5 bodies will give me the best results.nI have seen this post (https:\/\/www.padtinc.com\/blog\/can-i-parameterize-ansys-mechanical-material-assignments\/) but was wondering if there is perhaps any other simpler way of doing this without requiring the need to create &#8216;holder&#8217; geometries. nIs there a way to set the material ID for a material that was defined in the Engineering Data? If so then I could insert an APDL command without the need to create the &#8216;holder&#8217; geometries.nAlternatively, for linear materials I understand how to parameterize material properties (ie Young&#8217;s modulus, Poisson ratio). Is there an easy way to do this also for nonlinear materials (where your parameter is a vector\/table instead of a value)?nThank you in advance.n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-52676","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-apdl","topic-tag-material","topic-tag-parameterize"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["24980"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":["?\u0017\u0016?"],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2605"],"_bbp_subscription":["232988","290158"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["52676"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","166004","186657","290158"],"_bbp_voice_count":["4"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["302589"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["302589"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2023-08-21 18:16:02"]},"test":"juhu086"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/52676","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\/52676\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
