Granta Materials Data MATERIALS

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 unrivaled, diverse catalog of
materials reference data, combined with flexible materials selection and data management software.

/ Key Benefits of Granta Materials Data:

• Use one trusted source for materials property and process data
on the full range of engineering materials, compiled by leading
experts.
• Utilize a broad coverage of engineering materials (metals,
plastics, composites, etc.) and processes.
• Obtain data when and where you need it: Access it through a
web browser (see Figure 1), on your PC desktop, or within your
familiar CAD, CAE or PLM software (see Figure 2).
• Supplement in-house materials data with Granta Materials data.
Figure 1. Data in Ansys Granta MI™ can be searched, browsed
• Achieve speed and scalability with fast access to the data and applied via web apps.
you need for individuals and across teams, departments and
enterprises.
• Access the latest data with regular updates.
• Unlock your data’s potential with features available only with
Ansys Granta software tools (see Figure 3).

/ A Comprehensive Library to Choose From

Our Core Materials Data is included as standard in our Granta MI
and Selector products. This includes our unique MaterialUniverseTM
as well as temperature-dependent curve data from JAHM
Software. Figure 2. Allocate data directly within your CAD, CAE or PLM
systems.
The Advanced Materials Data can be purchased with Granta MI™
and Granta Selector™. These include material data for: Metals,
Polymers, Composites, Aero, Additive Manufacturing, Medical and
Eco Design.
