Data Module mitigates critical materials risk.

Granta Design Ltd.    Cambridge, CB1 7EG
May 08, 2013 Part of GRANTA MI software, Critical Materials Data Module includes supply risk data for 67 key elements. Data records describing those elements are linked to records describing materials in which elements can be found, allowing at-risk materials to be identified. Price volatility and variation data help assess potential impact of future price fluctuations. Data-driven assessment of materials supply and environmental risks helps design-out problems and meet legislative requirements.

Materials Information Management Software meets engineering needs.

Oct 04, 2012 Offering materials property data, CES Selector 2013 helps users seeking similar or replacement materials across full range of plastics, metals, ceramics, and composites. CES Metal Selector, combining 2 specialist datasets, helps engineers find information on metals specifications, designations, and global metal equivalencies. In addition to life cycle energy usage and CO2 footprint, Eco Audit™ Tool provides interactive charts that show environmental implications of changing material or process.

NIMS Data Module supports energy/processing plant applications.

Granta Design Ltd.    Cambridge, CB1 7EG
Jul 30, 2012 Data module provides searchable access to metals property data from Japan's National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), which includes raw numerical data from detailed creep rupture measurements and fatigue data. This information is available through browser-based GRANTA MI(TM), which lets users search, plot, and export data for use in CAE. Installation on corporate network can provide integrated, enterprise-wide access to in-house and other reference data, complementing NIMS dataset.

Oct 07, 2011 Eco Materials Adviser Full Version lets designers generate eco impact analyses of their product parts/assemblies as they evolve in Autodesk® Inventor® 2012. Dashboard display shows key indicators, and users can interactively explore sustainability impact of changes in materials choice or design. Also, users can study assemblies of any size, investigate materials options leveraging database with ~3,000 materials, and account for range of contributions to environmental impact.

Materials Management Software facilitates replacement decisions.

Granta Design Ltd.    Cambridge, CB1 7EG
Aug 03, 2011 CES Selector(TM) 2012 helps manufacturing enterprises that must replace materials in their product portfolio for reasons of cost, performance, supply, or environmental impact. Along with capabilities for eco design, PC-based solution combines data on materials properties with graphical analysis tools. It features facilitate and accelerate comparison of properties of multiple materials. Properties can be reviewed relative to user-defined reference material, with highlighted differences.

Materials Selection Software supports product development efforts.

Granta Design Ltd.    Cambridge, CB1 7EG
Oct 30, 2009 Combining comprehensive data on properties of materials with graphical software for analysis and selection, CES Selector(TM) enables designers, engineers, and materials experts to explore materials and process options and to make and justify rational, auditable selection and substitution decisions. Program's Eco Audit Tool accounts for energy or carbon dioxide lost or recovered on product disposal, enabling it to calculate key environmental indicators for full product lifecycle.
