    Default Adding different materials simultaneously

    Summary: There is no option in inventor where we can assign different materials to one single part.

    Description: In assembly work bench in design tab we can create v-belts as per our requirement. Here while going for simulation we can assign one particular material at a time. Instead of that if we can assign different materials at a time it will be helpful. One of our customer is into manufacturing of conveyor belts. They will manufacture the conveyor belts with different materials instead of one material as per their requirements.It will be a good option if this is included.

    Default Re: Adding different materials simultaneously

    Wouldn't combing two Materials form a new material? ie if one material is H and other O and add 2H and one O, then new material is H2O. Sorry no it's bad example but you get the idea!!! Maybe better example is alloy metals formed from the various mixture of base metals... thus the alloy becomes a material in it's own right. If your refering to say the steel fibres in in say a vehicle tire which is rubber then it's maybe something Inventor(Autodesk) should add. Similar to Revit's layer system in a wall/floor family. Add 10mm Rubber, then 1mm steel fibre strands then another 2mm rubber. this making total 13mm. That said one of these would have to be a variable which is calculated from subtracting other 2 form the thickness. However that being said these are still two individual materials. I presume that is what you are after ?
