[Gate-users] setMaterial

[venialgo at cae.cnea.gov.ar]

Hi Yonggang,

I have installed gate 3.1.2 and Copper isn't also defined in materials
section of the file GateMaterials.db, I was able to use copper by adding
the next line in the materials section.
I took the density of copper from wikipedia.

Copper: d=8.94 g/cm3 ; n=1 ; state=solid
        +el: name=auto ; n=1
