Hello all.

I want to access materials property variable(Cp,rho etc) in physics node.
When I use (nomal) material node, I can access this syntax : "comp1.mat1.def.Cp" .
Then, how should I access these variables when I use "switch for materials" node?
Ofcourse I can access each materials property in "switch for materials" node lile "comp1.sw1.mat1.def.Cp" ,
but I want to access mat1.Cp and mat2.Cp uniformly even if materials was switched.

node structure is lile this.

Materials
L sw1
...L mat1
......L def
.........L Cp
...L mat2
......L def
.........L Cp

Best regards
Hiroshi Yamashita

Hello,

I think that material.rho, for example, is what you are looking for. That set of variables (material.<property>) represents the current values of rho and other material properties for the active materials in the geometry.

Thank you, Magnus Ringh, I was able to almost resolve by this way.
I was able to get materials property in "Output properties", but I havn't been able to get in "Local properties" yet.
These variables cannot get by using material.<variable> ?
