 When analyzing an assembly, there are two options for analyzing the model.
   - Single material analysis: All material in the assembly is the same
   - Multiple material analysis: Each part of the assembly gets a specified material
+//Note: A full list of materials and their properties can be found in this **[[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pPP2sgpejghNadWGEhvhQryvVVgAhTZx6QBDA1GSFro/edit#gid=1832695137|spreadsheet]]**.//
+{{ :wiki:id:all_components_1.png?direct&400|}}
 ===== Single Material Analysis =====
+  - In the simulation setup window, select the **Materials** tab
-  - Choose material for entire assembly (green box). See this [[https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pPP2sgpejghNadWGEhvhQryvVVgAhTZx6QBDA1GSFro/edit#gid=1832695137|spreadsheet]] for material properties
+  - Scroll down to the **All Components** drop down menu
-     * Ferrous metals
+  - Choose one material for entire assembly. Selecting a material in the All Components menu will apply the same material to every component.
-     * Non-ferrous metals
-     * Non metals
-     * 3D printed plastics
-     * Engineering Plastics
   - Continue with simulation process described in [[wiki:id:simulation_setup|Simulation Setup]]

 ===== Multiple Material Analysis =====
-  - Choose [Set Multiple Materials] (red box)
+  - In the simulation setup window, select the **Materials** tab
-  - Hover over the part to see it highlighted in the assembly (orange box)
+  - Hover over the dropdown menu of each component to see it highlighted in the assembly
-  - Click the material dropdown button (blue box)
+  - Click the material dropdown menu (highlighted in blue)
-  - Select appropriate material
+  - Select appropriate material for that component
-  - Repeat for the remaining parts in the assembly
+  - Repeat for all remaining parts in the assembly
-  - Click back (purple box)
   - Continue with simulation process described in [[wiki:id:simulation_setup|Simulation Setup]]
