Assign material name in Spaceclaim through script

Indrajit

Hello,

I tried to use the script from
https://discuss.ansys.com/discussion/2402/can-i-change-material-properties-in-spaceclaim-through-scripting

However it is not clear on how to set the material name instead of "Unknown Material"

could you please help.

Thanks,
Indrajit

Thanks Erik.

How do I actually get the material names in the local library. Do i have to manually add that or is there a smart way to add material names in local library.

Below is an example to create your material and define its properties

newMat=SpaceClaim.Api.V22.DocumentMaterial.Create(Window.ActiveWindow.Document,"my_mat",1e6)
idCons=SpaceClaim.Api.V22.MaterialPropertyId
prop1 = SpaceClaim.Api.V22.MaterialProperty(idCons.PoissonsRatio,"PR",0.3,None)
newMat.SetProperty(prop1)
