The density of a material is defined in the material model definition rather than in the quad. This is something that you have to remember. You are okay to carry it out if it is specified in the material. Hope this helps!

I am seeing the improvement of about 10% in speed with tcl Version 8.5 as compared to 8.4. It does help!
