SWTDO Merged Material Library merges 18 SolidWorks material libraries into one .sldmat file: deduplicated, with a unified category structure, ready for material assignment, structural material selection and FEA pre-processing in SolidWorks.
Data scale
| Source libraries | 18 .sldmat files |

Properties included for every material
- Elastic Modulus (EX), Shear Modulus (GXY)
- Poisson’s Ratio (NUXY)
- Density (DENS)
- Thermal Conductivity (KX), Specific Heat (C), Thermal Expansion Coefficient (ALPX), Volumetric Expansion Coefficient (BETA)
- Tensile Strength (SIGXT), Yield Strength (SIGYLD), Compressive Strength (SIGXC)

How the merge works
- Same-named categories are merged across libraries (for example all stainless steel records end up in one category)
- Specific categories win, catch-all packages only fill the gaps
- Same name with different data: every version is kept, nothing is dropped as a “looks similar” duplicate
- Materials with different Chinese and English names keep both names
Typical use
- Material selection and assignment in SolidWorks structural design
- Material data for SolidWorks Simulation studies
- Consistent material names and values across modelling and drawing batches
- Base data for building your own company material library
Delivery and usage
