Dear Gurus,

When i create a new material in Pro/Mechanica integrated mode, the file is
available for that working directory only. How can i save the file so that
it can be used for all the required directories.

Also can some one help me to get the resource of the material properties
data?

Regards,

Dharmesh.

    When u save yr new material, a file called "mmatl.lib" is saved to yr
    working directory. U can either ;
    1. copy to yr home directory (so only u can access yr updated lib
    everytime u start Mechanica irrespective of yr working dir)

    2. copy to Mechanica/i486_nt/lib directory (the original mmatl.lib file
    is kept here) so that all users using yr computer can access yr updated
    materials.

    Try www.matweb.com for material properties.

    Good luck. Hope this help.

    Roland

    Or you can also put it in you current working directory, for a specific
    project. (as per help info below)


    When you access the material library, Mechanica looks for the mmatl.lib
    file in dirs in this order:
    1) (working directory)
    2) your home directory
    3) C:\Program Files\mechWildfire 2.0\i486_nt\lib

    Sorry Roland, you gave the complete answer. I didn't read the original
    question before adding my "help"
