I'm trying to run a stress analysis on an assembly of parts that will be printed in Ultem 9085 (on a Fortus 400MC). I am trying to find a plastic that most closely mimics the material properties of Ultem in the Inventor materials library. SOLIDWORKS had PEI which was near perfect, and I see that there's a thermoplastic resin in that library, but I can't seem to find PEI in Inventor. I was wondering if that thermoplastic resin is the best option, or if anyone knows another material in the Inventory library that would be more applicable. Thanks!

    I'm not sure you'll find any. 3D printed parts are non-isotropic due to the layers. I'm pretty sure any simulation will assume the plastic is isotropic. – Tom van der Zanden May 17 '17 at 17:41
