Question

Downloadable Material Libraries?

OK, now that I've settled on using material files, I was wondering if there are any updated libraries available out there? I know of the small library that ships with Pro|E and there is a zip file at MCAD Central [1], but It's quite old dating back to 2002 or 2004. That means it's in the pre WF3 format. I searched the PTC|User archives as well and found many requests for files and a few responses indicating files had been received, but no files.

For now, I'm going to adapt that set from MCAD Central, but if there's a set updated to WF3 I'd like to have it. As an aside, if there's an easy way to convert a bunch of material files from the old *.mat to the new with WF3 *.mtl, please let me know.

    I notice the subject is downloadable material files. We use
    www.matweb.com which is a very extensive online database of materials.

    Correction, the conversion tool is for mechanica material library files
    (mmatl.lib), not the pre-WF3 *.mat files. For them, I guess you need to
    open and save each one. 😞
