Define the Equipment Material

The next step in setting up the model is to add the equipment material that will be used in the simulation.

To define the equipment material:
  1. Add new equipment material.
    1. Right-click Equipment Material in the Creator Tree, and then select Add Equipment Material and enter the name 'steel' in the highlighted field.
  2. Define the equipment material properties.
    1. Select steel in the Equipment Material section.
    2. In the steel Properties dialog box, specify the Poisson's Ratio, Solids Density, and Shear Modulus as follows:


  3. Define the bulk material - equipment material interaction.
    1. In the Interaction dialog box, click the icon.
    2. In the Select Material dialog box, select rock from the dropdown list to define the interaction between elements made of 'rock' and elements made of 'steel'.
    3. Specify the coefficients as follows:
