摘要
This paper introduced the metal material database development and usage in car body design for automatic process. According to the common automotive steel product from the major steel plant in China and usage situation in local automotive OEMs （original equipment manufacturers）, a standard LS-DYNA material database contains 129 kinds of commonly used metal material and database is developed by CATARC. Considering the frequent use of material data and applied to different parts in FE model, engineers can save time with this standard tool and meet the future request of the automation modeling process.
