- Introduce las propiedades del material.
- Las propiedades mecánicas se utilizan para el análisis elástico y deben introducirse.
- Las propiedades térmicas se utilizan para los cálculos de incendio. No son obligatorias.
- Las propiedades avanzadas se utilizan en el cálculo del diseño. No son obligatorias. No hay propiedades avanzadas si el tipo de material es «otro».

- The implemented materials in Diamonds, are those for which we support the design calculations. For example:
- Diamonds can design concrete, steel, stainles steel, timber, so these materials are implemented.
- Diamonds cannot design masonry/ RVS/ aluminium/ … , so these materials are not implemented.
- There so no such thing as «the one and only» masonry quality.
The modulus of elasticity E is directly related to the compressive strength. The compressive strength depends on both brick and mortar properties.
Now there’s a whole range of different types of bricks: ordinary clay, lime sand, calcium silicate, concrete. Depending on the percentage of cavities and the material, you obtain a different compressive strength. The mortar properties depend on the type of mortar (general or light weight), the thickness (thin layers or normal) and the mortar quality (varies from M5 to M30).
Because there are so many possibilities to combine all these parameters, this gives a lot of different results for the compressive strength, sometimes by a factor of 20. Therefor, it is impossible to provide THE set of mechanical properties or even an average set of mechanical properties.
