DriveWorks Solo provides the ability to drive a model's material. To do this, create and capture a custom property in the model called "DWMaterial", for more information have a look at the Custom Properties help topic.
The result of the rule for the DWMaterial custom property should take the form:
MaterialDatabaseName|MaterialName
The material database name for the default SOLIDWORKS materials is called "SOLIDWORKS Materials", so for example, if you have a Combo Box containing the names of materials the user can select from, you could build a rule for a material custom property such as:
"SOLIDWORKS Materials|" & MaterialComboBoxReturn
If a material from the standard SOLIDWORKS materials library is desired, the "SOLIDWORKS Materials|" prefix can be omitted, e.g.:
"1023 Carbon Steel Sheet (SS)"
Would use the carbon steel sheet material from the SOLIDWORKS Material database.
The tables below show the names of the SOLIDWORKS Materials that are available in SOLIDWORKS 2009.
