Data entry for solid works plastics

Hi,

I'm new to the forum. I couldn't find any topics relating to my problem.

We are building up a lab in order to be able to determine all the data needed to add a new polymer into the solid works database. So basically we want to be able to digitalize polymers with all their properties needed to do a simulation.

My question is, if there is an overview of all the measurements that have to be conducted explaining how the values of each laboratoy test have to be entered into the data entry form for new materials and wich specifications are needed for each test.

For some properties it is very clear but for others we are stepping in the dark.

For example, for the thermal expansion coefficients there is no explanation what exactly is needed by the software. (e.g. temperature range)
