Two-Dimensional Elasticity 139

Select ‘Stainless Steel’ from the Outline window, and double-click Isotropic
Elasticity under Linear Elastic in the leftmost Toolbox panel. Enter ‘193E9’ for
Young’s Modulus and ‘0.27’ for Poisson’s Ratio in the bottom center Properties
window. Close the A2: Engineering Data tab to go back to the Project Schematic.

Step 4: Launch the SpaceClaim Program
Right-click on the Geometry Cell and choose Properties from its drop-down con-
text menu to bring up the Properties of Schematic A3: Geometry panel. In the
Properties panel under Basic Geometric Options, make sure that Surface Bodies
is checked to enable surface modeling. Also, select 2D for Analysis Type in the
panel. Next, double-click on the Geometry cell to launch the SpaceClaim program.
