    They are simple text files.

    Rename an existing one and edit it for your own names and parameters.

    There is also an icon to create a new one from within Creo, but it is very generic.

    Create a new material file with dummy data and then edit it in a simple text editor. See what each set of lines says and does and then add the properties for your materials.

    Here is the start part default file we use.

    ND_RelParSet_K01 = {

    Name = START_MATERIAL

    PARAMETERS =

    {

      Name = PTC_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION

      Type = String

      Default = 'PDM Number, Description 1

    Description 2

    Description 3'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = TEMPERATURE

      Type = Real

      Default = 0.000000e+00 F

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_INITIAL_BEND_Y_FACTOR

      Type = Real

      Default = 5.000000e-01

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_BEND_TABLE

      Type = String

      Default = ''

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_MATERIAL_TYPE

      Type = Integer

      Default = 9

      Access = Locked

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_FAILURE_CRITERION_TYPE

      Type = String

      Default = 'NONE'

      Access = Locked

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_FATIGUE_TYPE

      Type = String

      Default = 'NONE'

      Access = Locked

    },

    {

      Name = PTC_MASS_DENSITY

      Type = Real

      Default = 9.900000e+01 lbm/in^3

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = PDM_NUMBER

      Type = String

      Default = 'PROE_SETUP'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = PDM_NAME

      Type = String

      Default = 'Start Material Name'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = DESCRIPTION1_U

      Type = String

      Default = 'PDM Number, Description 1'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = DESCRIPTION2_U

      Type = String

      Default = 'Start Material Description 2'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = DESCRIPTION3_U

      Type = String

      Default = 'Start Material Description 2'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = DATA_SOURCE

      Type = String

      Default = 'Source for material properties'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = VERSION

      Type = String

      Default = 'Version of material file'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = CATEGORY

      Type = String

      Default = 'Material category type'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = COMMENT1

      Type = String

      Default = 'Material used for setup of start parts.'

      Access = Full

    },

    {

      Name = COMMENT2

      Type = String

      Default = 'Any other comments about material.'

      Access = Full

    }

    }
