The following material categories are available: Concrete, Lightweight Concrete, Steel, Stainless Steel, Softwood Timber, Hardwood Timber, Glulam, Masonry, Aluminum, Glass, Gas (for insulating glass panes), Soil (for foundation designs), Cast Iron, Cable, Reinforcing Steel, Prestressing Steel, Copper, LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), Plywood, OSB, Particleboard, Fiberboard, Gypsum, Wood (North America), Wood (South Africa).
Since the material properties are usually described in material standards or design codes, the material categories mentioned above are sorted by the following standard group: ANSI/AWC, AS, ASTM, BDS EN, BS, BS EN, CAN/CSA, CSN, CSN EN, CYS EN, DB SE‑A, DIN, DIN EN, DK EN, DE, GB/T, GOST, IRL EN, IS, JIS, LST EN, NBN EN, LVS EN, NBR, NEN EN, NF EN, NMX, NP EN, PN EN, NS EN, SANS, SFS EN, SIA, SIST EN, SR EN, SP, SS EN, SS‑EN, STN EN, UNE EN, UNI EN, ÖNORM B.
In order to find exactly the right material for your calculation, the materials library provides options for filtering by material category group, material category, standard category, standard, special application, and species. These filters may help you find any material with the correct standard for the corresponding application.
If you do not know the exact name of the standard, you can use the search function in the materials library. This way, you can display all materials with similar text in the name, regardless of the standard.
