In this video, I demonstrate how to edit and customize Engineering Data in ANSYS Workbench to create accurate and simulation-ready material models.
Understanding how to modify material properties is essential for producing reliable results, especially when working with non-standard or experimental materials.
🔍 What you’ll learn:
How to access and edit Engineering Data
Adding new materials to your project
Modifying existing material properties
Creating custom materials from scratch
Key properties to define:
Young’s Modulus
Poisson’s Ratio
Density
Yield Strength
Thermal Properties
When and why to customize materials
⚙️ Why this matters:
Accurate material definition directly impacts stress, deformation, and thermal results. Poor material inputs = unreliable simulation.
In simulation, your results are only as good as your material data.
