Material Editor

The Material Editor is Realis’ dedicated environment for defining and managing material properties within simulation workflows. It allows users to assign accurate, simulation-ready material models for solids and fluids across structural and fluid dynamics applications. With built-in libraries, custom material creation, and support for complex behaviours like temperature dependence, the Material Editor ensures consistency and precision in physical modelling. Seamless integration with other Realis tools streamlines setup and promotes traceability, enabling engineers to maintain control over material definitions throughout the simulation lifecycle.
