Material Names

[James Cook]

So I know we can request for material names and it will return MAT1 or MAT11 or others depending on the material type, but is there a function that will return the actual material name that is assigned, i.e. Aluminum_6061? The attached photo, I have boxed in red what I am trying to return. ideally, trying to print the element ID along with the actual material name, vs the MAT 1 or MAT 11 etc. Let me know if there needs to be more clarification.

You can access comments from the MAT1 object to get material name, but you’d have to parse it yourself.

comment = model.material[2].comment

name = comment.split(“:”)[1].strip()

There is a function to lookup ids by material id, but I’m out of town at the moment.

Thank you for the quick reply. I will parse myself. Thank you! I will also search for the function to lookup ids by mat ids! Thanks again!
