You have three primary methods to populate your material database:
Materials are the digital DNA of your simulation. A perfect geometry with a wrong material property is a failed simulation. Whether you are using the pre-loaded "Structural Steel" for a quick check or defining a complex 9-parameter Ogden model for a heart valve stent, the Engineering Data workspace in Ansys gives you the control to represent physical reality.
Instead of modeling every fiber in a composite, future versions of Ansys will run a microscale simulation of the weave pattern (at the micrometer level), automatically homogenize it, and output an card for the macro-scale car body.
