hi, how can I get mortar material (cement+sand+wtaer) in envi.met program?
To get mortar material in envi.met program, you need to follow these steps:
1. Open the envi.met software and create a new project.
2. Go to the Building tab and select the Building Material Editor.
3. Click on the Add New Material button and enter a name for your mortar material.
4. In the Material Properties section, enter the values for cement, sand and water content. You can use the default values or adjust them according to your needs.
5. Click on the Save button to save your new material.
6. Go back to the Building tab and select the Building Editor.
7. Select the building elements that you want to apply the mortar material to and click on the Assign Material button.
8. Choose your mortar material from the list and click on OK.
9. Save your project and run the simulation.
Hi
Here are the steps to define a mortar material in EnviMET:
1. In the model tree, right click on "Materials" and select "New Soil Material".
2. Give the material a name like "Mortar".
3. Under the Main tab:
- Set Material Type to "Mineral"
- Adjust the density to around 2000 kg/m3
4. Under Hydraulic Properties:
- Set Porosity to 0.15
- Set Hydraulic Conductivity to around 10^−12 m/s
5. Under Thermal Properties:
- Set Heat Capacity to around 1000 J/(kg·K)
- Set Heat Conductivity to 1 W/(m·K)
6. Under Optical Properties, adjust parameters like albedo, emissivity, etc. based on literature values for mortar.
7. Save the material.
8. In the 3D view, you can now apply the mortar material to your model geometry.
The exact property values can be tuned based on the specific mortar composition. But this overall process defines a new mineral material in EnviMET to represent a mortar mix. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi Raad Alzuhairi , and my friend
I see you're interested in `ENVI-met`, a pretty cool software that's all about simulating those tiny climates and cityscapes we find ourselves in. It's super into understanding how buildings, plants, and the air around us play together. But, here's a little heads-up: it's not really set up to get into the nitty-gritty of making building materials, like how to mix up cement, sand, and water to make mortar.
Now, if you're keen on exploring how mortar, once it's all mixed up, behaves in a city setting, `ENVI-met` could be helpful. You'd pop into its database and tell it about the mortar's heat handling, how well it conducts heat, and how heavy it is. Just remember, it's more about the end result of the mortar, not so much about how you got there.
In case you're building something or planning a space in a city and want to know how mortar impacts stuff like heating, energy use, or just the local mini-climate, you'd enter what the mortar's like after you've mixed it. The software's more interested in what the mortar does in its final form rather than how you made it.
But hey, if you're really into the whole process of creating mortar, from mixing to setting, and you need all those detailed chemical or physical insights, you might need to scout around for some other software. There are ones out there more tuned into material science or the nuts and bolts of building stuff.
Hope this helps you out! Let me know if there's anything else you're curious about. 🌆🌱📊
