Physical Property Table
Name	Defines the name of the physical property table.
Label	Defines the unique numeric identifier for the physical property table.
Properties
Material	Lets you assign the appropriate material to the associated elements.For structural solutions, you must select an isotropic (MAT1) or an orthotropic (MAT3) material.For heat transfer solutions, you must select an isotropic heat transfer material (MAT4) or an anisotropic heat transfer (MAT5) material.Select a material from the list of materials assigned to the model, or click Choose material to define a new material.
Plane Stress Thickness
Default Thickness	Specifies the thickness for the plane stress elements. This option does not apply to plane strain elements.
Nonstructural Mass
Nonstructural Mass	Defines the non-structural mass per area for the elements.
Advanced
Formulation Option	Lets you specify the element formulation to use.Select Standard Formulation to use the standard element formulation.Select Mean Dilatational to use a mean dilatational formulation for nearly incompressible materials.
