====== Assemblies ======
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]]**.//

===== Single Material Analysis =====
  - In the simulation setup window, select the **Materials** tab
  - Scroll down to the **All Components** drop down menu 
  - Choose one material for entire assembly. Selecting a material in the All Components menu will apply the same material to every component. 
  - Continue with simulation process described in [[wiki:id:simulation_setup|Simulation Setup]]

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