Isaac Material Properties: 150 Subgroups for Physics Simulation

A lightweight material-property catalogue intended to support material retrieval and automatic material assignment in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and related USD simulation workflows. The dataset was created by hcltech-robotics and its initial release contains 150 major material subgroups. It was last updated on 2026-07-12.

Use Cases

• Material retrieval for 3D objects based on material_class and material_family fields.
• Automatic material assignment in simulation workflows based on physical parameters like density and Young's modulus.
• Populating physics engines with canonical material property values for accurate simulation behavior.
• Benchmarking or comparing material property definitions across different simulation platforms.

Strengths

• Contains 150 major material subgroups, providing a structured starting point.
• Includes canonical physical parameters such as density (rho) and Young's modulus (E).
• Specifically designed for integration with NVIDIA Isaac Sim and USD workflows.

Limitations

• Row count and total number of unique material records are unknown.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
