Supply chain disruptions have become a persistent challenge across industries. Whether due to geopolitical factors, natural events or shifting market conditions, organizations frequently face material shortages that can halt production and delay product launches. Finding suitable alternative materials quickly is essential, but replacements must still meet performance requirements, cost constraints and increasingly important sustainability targets.
In this webinar, we will use Ansys Granta Selector to demonstrate how to systematically identify alternative materials when your primary choice becomes unavailable. We will explore how to define critical performance requirements that must be maintained, filter candidates by supplier and geographic considerations, and evaluate cost and sustainability trade-offs. Using a practical example, we will show how to build supply chain resilience into your material selection process from the start.
We will also explore the materials and manufacturer data within Ansys Granta Selector and show how identified alternatives can be transferred to Ansys simulation tools for validation.
