It is not possible to modify the default Eurocode materials but you can define and add your own material. Then you can use this material in other programs as well. The materials are saved in an XML file so you can put that on the network and share the materials database with your colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch2 class=\"nlm-rh\">\u003Cspan class=\"nlm-no\">2.\u003C\u002Fspan> \u003Cspan class=\"nlm-badge nlm-badge-new\">New\u003C\u002Fspan> Side reinforcement\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Module Concrete Section: It is now possible to enter side reinforcement.
