Defining a new code-specific material

All the code specific materials (that means material grades for particular material types specified by a particular national technical code) are stored in the material system database.

The procedure for the definition of a new code-specific material

1. Open the Materials manager.

2. Click button [Read from system database].

   

3. A dialogue with available materials appears on the screen. Its left hand side window shows that materials defined in the project. The right hand side window lists all available code-specific materials.

4. Add as many materials into the project as required.

5. Close the Read from database dialogue.

6. Close the Materials manager.

Note: Unless the specific material type is selected in the project settings, it is not possible to add such material into the project. For example, unless timber is selected in the project settings dialogue, the material manager does not allow the user to add any timber material.
