hello every one ,
I want to add the material of each piece in my model
I have several materials like (SA516-60N), (SA283-C), (SA106-B), (SA105), (SA266-4), (SA193-B7), (SA53), (SA179)
how to define these materials in SW I have a lot of steels
my question is:which kind of steel matches these materials
Here you go smart guy I just YouTube it and I learned something myself about this I remember doing this in class years ago I just went to YouTube and typed it in and this is what I found

Those types of steel may have very different properties from the default values provided in SOLIDWORKS.
You'll have to research each material to find its material properties, and compare them to the existing values.
I'm sure it is a translation issue, but your question asks "How to define these materials in SW".
The answer is by manually typing the properties for each type of steel into the library of materials in SW. Then, the material can be added to each part by right clicking on the Material entry in the feature tree (which is where I assumed you obtained the screenshot posted above).
If I recall my days in college that the job of an engineer to do research this person is too lazy or cheated his way through school to realize how to do basic research something as simple as a search on YouTube to solve his problem you have facilitated somebody that was lazy and inept
Hey Gary! you may be right about the laziness of the individual as his personal image appears to be sleeping on the job but I doubt he is an actual engineer. I am personally not an engineering degree holder myself but do hold pride in researching out data for my projects. The MATWEB site is good for gathering material specs for uploading but one still needs to further investigate material properties for suitability of strength , fastening processes, chemical reactions, etc. It does appear his need is to produce a 3D model from a 2D CAD drawing for FEA. As Michael Levesque has said previously " R&D" (Rob & Duplicate) ;

You maybe correct. It surprises me that the internet has all the abilities to find answers and people still can't find or use it well. Back in my day you had to research the library, mirco film, magazine and hours of searching. Now reduced to a key stroke and swipe left or right.
A staggering amount of information is now available on the internet. That wasn't possible or as in-depth even 20 years ago yet most people seem to want to be spoon fed answers rather than learning how to learn or doing the research. They're flatly lazy and resentful when you point this out.
As the saying goes 'You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink'
That is almost a paraphrase of what the video on YouTube that I gave you says this is redundant but I guess it sounds better coming from you right
Gary,
I didn't go to the URL you provided.
If my post is similar to the video's content, maybe what they say about great minds is true?
