Q: How can I create my own XML material property library in Simulation 10.0?
I have the following questions:

Q1) Is the format documented?
A2) At 11.0 we will document the format. In the mean time please refer to the attached draft document SP1 EDA Doc2.doc
available from Tech. Support.

Q2) I assume that the <qualifier> tag is just a text label for the properties, and that the <PropertyData property="xxx"> tag really defines the type of data it is? i.e. pr1=density, pr6=specific heat, etc. Is this correct?

A2) This is not true always. Here is an example of orthotropic elastic property where the qualifier is different from the property ID.

- <PropertyData property="pr16">

<Data format="float">15320145.61</Data>

<Qualifier>Young's Modulus X direction</Qualifier>

</PropertyData>

- <PropertyData property="pr16">

<Data format="float">22980218.415</Data>

<Qualifier>Young's Modulus Y direction</Qualifier>

</PropertyData>

- <PropertyData property="pr16">

<Data format="float">7.88860905221012e-031</Data>

<Qualifier>Young's Modulus Z direction</Qualifier>

</PropertyData>



Here 'pr16' is later defined as:

- <PropertyDetails id="pr16">

<Name>Orthotropic Elasticity</Name>

- <Units>

<Unit>Pa</Unit>

</Units>

</PropertyDetails>

Q3) Is there a limit to the length of a line in the XML file?
A3) There is no limit that we are aware of. Also please do not use `carriage return' when defining properties.

Q4) Is there a limit to the number of data points (temperatures) per property?
A4) Not in Engineering Data but any Ansys restrictions still apply.

Q5) Does V10.0 actually use the temperature dependency data yet if it's read in from an XML file?
A5) For most elastic properties and thermal properties we do support temperature dependency. At 10.0 temperature dependency
is not supported for orthotropic elastic properties, hyperelastic properties and stress-strain curves. We plan to add more funct
