Hi,

Go to the menu 'Define>Materials' then just fill out the boxes, give it a name, set the material type (fluid/solid), set the density, viscosity and thermal properties if required. Then click Change/Create, it'll give you an option to overwrite the existing material or not. That's about it really. Check the materials database though, the material you require might already be there.

Regards

Steve
