Material Qualities

Material qualities are not explicitly handled in AVEVA Marine but they are mandatory to run the finit element analysis.

Material properties can be defined in an XML file and imported by choosing "XML | Import | Hull Steel Import" from the menu in Structural Design. That creates a material object which is used to export material properties to the 3rd party software.

Example File:
