Ansys Granta Selector materials selection software lets you innovate, resolve materials issues, reduce costs and validate your materials choices. Select the best materials for your application and then export simulation-ready materials data.
Use the right materials to improve performance, reduce risk and cost while increasing customer satisfaction. Ansys Granta Selector provides powerful tools and extensive materials selection databases for intelligent decision making. Trusted by engineers and materials experts, you can rapidly find the best materials for any application then directly export materials property data.
Ansys Granta Selector’s systematic materials selection methods allow you to compare, visualize and set limits on properties, balance competing performance requirements and rapidly eliminate unsuitable candidates. Locate suitable grades, standards and suppliers and communicate your results with confidence.
" Using Granta Selector we're able to do quick materials properties comparisons: mechanical, thermal, electrical…"
Radiall is a high-tech company, producing complex optical and electrical connectors for demanding service conditions. Every material has different performance requirements, manufacturing and quality standards. Radiall turned to Ansys Granta Selector to meet these challenges so that every materials decision was exhaustive, repeatable and auditable. Balancing competing property requirements (mechanical, thermal and electrical performance) was necessary for developing and improving these components.
Using Ansys Granta Selector, Radiall rapidly identified suitable materials for high-performance electrical connectors. Quick property comparisons to choose the best candidates helped make their materials experts more productive. Simultaneously, they reduced the risk of restricted substances in their products and exported simulation-ready data from the JAHM dataset allowing simulations to be more ‘relevant and accurate’.

Select battery cells based on performance, dimensions and type. Explore different multi-cell configurations and estimate their performance – rapidly iterate multiple different designs and their effect on outputs.
Over 20,000 new materials added. Includes ~15,000 polymer additives plus new/updated metals, generic battery cells and additive manufacturing data. New eco/sustainability attributes plus over 5,000 new materials added to the JAHM data set in the core Granta Selector product.
Supports multiple simultaneous instances of Granta Selector. Once the right material(s) is selected, users may now export property data all at once, or in multiple export operations as more candidates are identified.
Ansys Granta Selector combines extensive, relevant materials data with a range of versatile tools to implement powerful, logical materials selection. Rapidly search and filter materials based on an unlimited number of property requirements in our data. Selections can be plotted and easily visualized for optimal performance. Comparative tools let you compare different materials side-by-side with significant differences clearly highlighted. Whether you are looking to reduce cost, lower your environmental impact, overcome in-service problems or simply find better materials for the job, Granta Selector is the right software.
Ansys Granta Selector provides powerful tools and data to help you make informed materials choices.
Ensure exhaustive, repeatable and auditable materials selection. Find similar materials to current choices or explore the entire available materials space. Rapidly compare material choices and balance competing performance requirements.
Our extensive array of interlinked materials data includes our comprehensive and comparable MaterialUniverse™ dataset. Detailed information on metals, polymers, composites, coatings, medical materials, aerospace materials and more.
