To load the material database file, select the Materials manager node within the Tools node.
The Load Path property lets you load a props.dbs file into the simulation. You must enter the full path name, and the name of the file itself must always be props.dbs.
If the path name is long, click the property customizer (
) in that property. That will activate a dialog where you can see the full path name.
Click OK when finished.
Your database file path will appear in the Properties window.
Any modifications you have made to that database will be reflected in the STAR-CCM+ GUI. If you changed properties of a material, your changes can be seen in the properties of property value nodes. If you added a new material, that new material will be represented by a material node, as shown in the screenshot below.
