The materials defined in the top.mat file can be translated, each material will create a TopSolid 7 material and will fill certain information. The .mat file can be named before the import. The created library name is the name of the imported file.

The translated properties are:

• The name

• The description

• The part number

• The manufacturer

• The category (see the table below)

• The color

• The transparency

• The elasticity limit

• The density

• The Young's modulus

• Poisson's Ratio

• The shear modulus

• The shrinkage factor
