   You can modify the generic data to analyze the material details.

   Hover over the plot area to view chart options such as zoom in, zoom out, auto scale to original chart view, reset axes, and export it as a PDF document.

9. Enter an identification number for the material in Material Id.
   Note: Use the arrow keys to select a number. By default, the material id is 1000.
10. Click Download.
    The CAE Model is downloaded to your personalized download location on your local workstation.

    Note: You can encrypt the CAE file data before downloading it for OptiStruct and Radioss Solvers.
11. Click Save to Drive.
    A notification is displayed: Downloading Success! Open file location.
