Searching for a replacement to PA66 to solve a supply issue.
By using our Core and Advanced Materials Data with Ansys Granta Selector, alternative polymers can be found to solve severe supplier shortages.
When global supply issues resulted in PA66 being difficult to source, our customers turned to Ansys Granta to seek a solution.
By accessing Granta’s unique MaterialUniverseTM polymers data, which is part of our Core Generic data offering with each of our products, materials experts were able to access critical PA66 data.
Using Granta Selector they were able to quickly find a range of viable alternative polymers given the price, flexural modulus, flammability constraints and for its suitability for injection molding.
Finally, using our Advanced Polymers Materials Data, the individual grades from suppliers were found. Resulting in an actionable alternative polymer found, at a lower cost.
Release Date: 2021 R1
Over 20,000 new materials and records across our Core Generic Data and Advanced Materials Data will be available in our 2021 R1 release.
JAHM will offer over 5,000 new materials with additional 300+ stress-strain, 200+ fatigue and 2,300+ creep curves.
MaterialUniverse™ will feature some new materials with updates to pricing & critical materials risks. Build a more accurate understanding of the embodied energy and Carbon Dioxide for typical grades of metals.
The new Global Polymers collection will include ~15,000 new records on polymer additives. With data for over 290 new industrial Additive Manufacturing machines and 800 new materials, our Additive Data offering has been significantly improved. Additional supplier information is now available in our Global Metals Specifications.
With a broad range of materials information, Granta Materials Data provides data that engineers need – when and where you need it. Our unrivalled material library serves as a complete and cost-effective solution. Users can leverage the latest materials data to search, compare and analyze. By using our Granta software products, this materials data can be seamless export or integrated into a wide range of CAD, CAE and PLM solutions.
