FEM MaterialEditor

Description

The Material Editor allows you to edit and save the information contained in a FreeCAD material. Currently such materials are used by the FEM and Arch workbenches.

Usage

The material editor can currently be accessed by either:

  1. Arch Workbench:
    • The Material button.
    • The menu Arch → Material tools → Material entry.
  2. FEM Workbench:
    • The Material editor button.
    • The menu Model → Materials → Material editor entry.

Options

  • Browser button: Opens the contents of the URL property in a browser

  • Material card: Allows to choose a preset to fill in the fields

  • Open: Opens a .FCMat file

  • Save as: Saves the contents of the editor as a new .FCMat file

  • Preview: Not implemented yet

  • Properties editor: Allows to edit the contents of the material properties

  • Add property: Allows to add a new custom property

  • Delete property: Deletes a selected property. Only custom properties can be deleted

Notes

  • The OK and Cancel buttons have the same effect when the Material editor is not used to edit directly the material property of an existing object.
