I am using 3D-PDE tool to solve problems for the elastic deformation of a thick plate. How can I set different materials for multiple layers on this plate? This is my code (for 1 material)
E = 2.07e11; % elastic modulus of steel in Pascals
nu = 0.3; % Poisson's ratio
c = elasticityC3D(E,nu);
a = 0;
f = [0;0;0]; % Assume all body forces are zero
u = assempde(model,c,a,f); % calculate solution
Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't think that you can do exactly what you want at this point in time. Ideally, you would have different layers specified in your geometry, and could set different coefficients for each layer. But the current toolbox cannot accept different layers to mesh.
Instead, you can fake a solution, but it will not be totally accurate. Set different material properties by setting c to be a nonconstant coefficient. Make sure that your mesh is fine enough to distinguish between your layers. The problem, of course, is that your mesh will not align with your geometry, so the material properties will be set in a fashion that is not 100% aligned with your desired geometry.
Good luck,

Sorry, I really cannot help with this question. Though it seems that you have a typo: face 51 instead of 61.
By the way, you might have better luck getting your question answered if you start a new thread; people might see that this thread has an accepted answer, and would never see the new question.
Good luck,
