Static Public Member Functions
static void	declare (const String &type, Constructor ctor)
	Register a material type with the factory.
static bool	exists (const String &type)
	Check if a material type is registered.
static StringVector	listKnownTypes ()
	Get list of all registered material types.
static Ref< Material >	newInstance (const String &type, const String &name, const Properties &conf, const Properties &props, const Properties &globdat)
	Create material instance with explicit type.
static Ref< Material >	newInstance (const String &name, const Properties &conf, const Properties &props, const Properties &globdat)
	Create material instance with type from properties.

Detailed Description

Provides centralized registry for material types, enabling dynamic instantiation based on string identifiers. Materials register with declare() and are created with newInstance().

Supported Materials

• ElasticRodMaterial: Linear elastic rod elements
• ElastoPlasticRodMaterial: Elasto-plastic rod elements with hardening
