I am trying to put in Density in for material.
I have entered the following
Name = PTC_MASS_DENSITY
Type = Real
Default = 7.3424e-04 lbf sec^2/in^4
Access = Full

into the steel.mtl but when I use it in a part the density doesn't come up correct.

Is there something else that needs to be modified other the the PTC_MASS_DENSITY?

It's probably better to create a new part, create the material in the part, then save the material to a central location. Then you can open up the .mtl file in a text editor (eg notepad), and you can see the format for the file.

If this doesn't solve your problem, we may need more information as to what exactly you are doing.
