How to Efficiently Solve the Materials Data Management Challenge for Design and Simulation

white-papers-thumbnail

With the ever-increasing need for rapid product development, companies are trying to optimize the time their engineers spend on each step of the product development process. This includes increasing teams’ efficiency and minimizing the number of design iterations. To achieve this, design iterations should happen as quickly as possible with the goal of improving the product, and not to correct errors introduced in the design. While sources of errors and wastes of time have many origins, this paper focuses on the ones related to materials information. We will discuss the current challenges associated with materials data management for design and simulation, and how to implement best practices to overcome such challenges.

The Business Case for Material Intelligence

The impact of materials information on productivity, innovation, cost and risk in the engineering enterprise If your organization makes or designs products, it uses materials. Information about these materials is vital, often with multi-million dollar impact. In other areas of product engineering, digital transformation is already highly embedded – for example, CAE, CAD and CAM are now ‘must haves’ for every manufacturing enterprise. Software technology to manage and effectively apply materials information had lagged behind – but this is changing, rapidly. In this white paper, we explore why this is, with materials information management increasingly established as a core engineering technology. Includes extensive case study and return on investment information.

Ansys Granta Pedigree and Validation of Materials Data

This brochure describes how materials data used in Ansys Granta products are collected, checked and validated for accuracy. This process ensures the pedigree of the materials data, which can have a major impact on the simulations in which they are used.

Granta Materials Data

Materials experts, designers, engineers and simulation experts need top quality up-to-date technical, environmental and economic properties of materials – metals, plastics, composites, ceramics and more. Such data informs critical decisions in design and materials selection and substitution. Additionally, it helps meet environmental and restricted substance regulations. Ansys Granta collaborates with leading data providers to maintain an unrivalled, diverse catalog of materials reference data, combined with flexible materials selection and data management software.

Materials Selection: The Missing Link for Optimal Product Design

Your business success is intimately linked with the success of your products. As a result, you invest huge amounts of time and money in optimizing your product development processes. You optimize your product design by providing your product designers with the latest CAD tools. You optimize your product performance by giving your analysts the latest simulation tools. But what do you do to optimize your choice of materials?

Materials Selection in Research and Teaching: An Aerospace Additive Manufacturing Example

Making the right materials and process choices for aerospace applications is challenging, particularly with the expanding range of possibilities offered by new additive manufacturing technologies. In this webinar, we’ll demonstrate software tools and data resources that can help, focusing on the needs of university researchers and teachers.
