Sonia Stamatelos Administrator Posts: 25 Overview of Materials The definition of materials, by means of engineering parameters, such as stiffness, strength, deterioration patterns etc. is central to many of the Rubicon Toolbox design features. The Materials database is prepopulated with standard materials with predefined values for Stiffness, Poisson's ratio and the transfer function associated with the material. Users may also add their own User Defined materials to the database. When you select a predefined material from the Materials database during an analysis, the values for Stiffness, Poisson's ratio and the associated transfer function is automatically set to those of the selected material. The values can be changed for a specific analysis without changing the default values in the database. Getting Started The Materials database is accessed through the Settings icon on the Rubicon Toolbox Online Tools. Adding User Defined Materials User defined materials can now be added to the Materials database for use by all users in the account. These materials are saved and can be used in the LET Tools. The properties associated with the predefined materials in the database cannot be edited and changed, but they can be cloned. Once cloned, the associated properties can be changed, but the name will have (User Defined) appended to the name. User defined materials can be edited and deleted. When you have added a new material, remember to check the checkbox and Save Changes to ensure the material is visible in the LET Standard Axle and Axle Spectrum Tools. edited by on 3/20/2024
