Materials - Overview

Materials provide a central location to defined conductors and dielectrics used in your circuit. You may define a new material, select a common material from the installed library, or define your own user material library.

Materials are defined using the Project Editor menu Circuit > Settings > Materials. You may then click the Conductors or Dielectrics tab to show a list of the conductor materials or dielectric materials of your project.
