Material Object

Material object holds material property information for the structure. Examples of these properties are modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio, density, steel yield strength, 28-day strength of concrete.

Example Syntax:

</O>

Example:

<br><O N="MaterialObject1" T="Project" Category="FEM Objects" TransAlignRule="Right"><br> <!-- created by ParamML Examples on 06.02.2023 --><br> <O N="Rebar3D" T="Line"><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="0" /><br> <O T="Point" X="0" Y="0" Z="100" /><br> <O N="Section" T="Section"><br> <O T="Shape"><br> <O T="Circle" Radius="5" /><br> </O><br> </O><br> <O N="StructuralSteel_A36" T="Material"><br> <P N="E" V="200000" D="modulus of elasticity" /><br> <P N="G" V="83333" D="shear modulus" /><br> <P N="Fu" V="400" D="specified minimum tensile strength" /><br> <P N="Fy" V="248" D="specified minimum yield stress" /><br> </O><br> </O><br></O><br>

Example:

To use material values saved in the OpenBrIM library , follow these steps: - Open a saved project from the OpenBrIM App. - Click on the Data , then navigate to Materials under FEA in the combobox. - In the 3rd line, click on the 3 dots, then select the "import material" button in the combobox. - Choose the desired material components. - Import the information. - Navigte to the Source Code.

The code rows in the red frame in the figure are copied from the Source Code and transferred to the library object for processing
