If you look under the Outline of Schematic A2: Engineering Data Window, you will see that the default material is Structural Steel. The Problem Specification states we will be using Aluminum 6061-T6. To add a new material, click in an empty box labeled Click here to add a new material and give it a name. Our Material is Al 6061-T6. On the left hand side of the screen in the Toolbox window, expand Linear Elastic and double click Isotropic Elasticity to specify E and

In the Properties of: Al 6061-T6 window, Set the Elastic Modulus units to psi, set the magnitude as
1E7, and set the Poisson Ratio to 0.33.We will need to define the density as well. Expand Physical Properties and double click density. In the Properties of: Al 6061-T6 window, a density bar will have appeared. Define it as being 2700 kg/m^3
