Assigning materials is done like in tutorial 1 and tutorial 2 with the Drag&Drop function. For the analysis of the window frame, we will select materials from the EN ISO 10077-2 Standard category.
In this cross-section of the window frame, all air cavities are assigned the material Unventilated Air Cavities. According to EN ISO 10077-2, all air cavities are considered unventilated. They are either completely enclosed by a material or have a connection to the exterior, which is no more than 2 mm large. The program will automatically and iteratively calculate the equivalent thermal conductivity of the individual air chambers.

Summary
| • | The materials are listed in the Materials flyout  . In the lower part the materials from the database are listed, in the upper part materials present in the document are listed. |
| • | New materials can either be added to the upper materials list or to the materials database (see Materials flyout toolbar  ). |
| • | Materials can either be assigned with the Drag&Drop function or with the Assign Properties tool  . |
| • | The Assign Properties tool always assigns the selected material from the upper list by clicking on the desired element. With the Drag&Drop function you can, independently from the active tool, assign a material from the database list or from the document material list. |
| • | Air cavities in the window frame are filled with the Air Cavity EN ISO 10077-2 tool  . The user defines the domain, in which all cavities and open domains are automatically filled with special air cavity material according to the standard. |
