Material

When a material is pushed to MidasCivil, a user defined material will be created irrespective of the type provided (except for Steel and Concrete). When the material object is pulled from MidasCivil, the type will default to GenericIsoptropic or GenericOrthotropic unless they were defined as steel or concrete.
