Material Property
Each component has a Material Property category.
Compressive Yield Strength PSI
Defines the Compressive Yield Strength, PSI for this component. Select material type of 'Other' to manually change this value.
Defines the type of material to be used with this component.
Defines the Modulus of Elasticity, KSI for this component ( KSI = PSI * 1000). Select material type of 'Other' to manually change this value.
Defines the Poisson’s Ratio for the component. Select material type of 'Other' to manually change this value.
Defines the Safe Bending Strength, PSI for this component. The safe stress is assumed to be 1/3 of the Tensile Strength.
Defines the shrinkage rate for plastic gears. This is only used when inserting a tooth cut profile. The value entered must be less than 0.0100 (0.0025 = 0.25%)
Defines the Tensile Strength, Ultimate PSI for this component. Select material type of 'Other' to manually change this value.
