where <mattag> is a string that you use to refer to a material definition.

A Material is a collection of material models, where each material model defines a set of material properties, material functions, and model inputs. To add a material model, use the syntax:

where mat is a link to a material node. The string <mtag> refers to the material model.

where comp is the link to the component, modelMat the model MPH-file name that contains the source material node and <mattag> the tag of the material node to import.

The section Example: Implement and Solve a Heat Transfer Problem shows how to change a material property inside a physics interface. This example shows how to define a material available globally in the model. These steps assume that the previous example has been followed. Enter:

The material automatically creates a material model, def, which can be used to set up basic properties. For example, use it to define the density and the heat capacity:

To use the defined material in a model, set the solid1 feature to use the material node. Enter:
