Eco Materials Adviser for Autodesk Inventor Available in Six Languages
Full Version of sustainable design tool now in English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
Granta Design today announced the availability of Eco Materials Adviser in six language versions: English, German, French, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. Users of Autodesk® Inventor® software in all of these languages can now access both the Base and Full Versions of this powerful sustainable design tool.
Eco Materials Adviser enables designers access an authoritative source of materials property data within Autodesk Inventor, and to apply that data to address environmental, performance, and cost requirements together at an early stage in the design process. An easy-to-read dashboard display shows key eco indicators such as CO2 footprint, energy usage, materials cost, water usage, and compatibility with legislation on hazardous substances. Users can interactively explore the sustainability impact of changes in materials choice or the design of their digital prototype.
Eco Materials Adviser Base Version, which enables users to try out the tool, was shipped with every copy of Autodesk Inventor 2012 in English. Users in the other supported languages will now be offered the opportunity to update to their local language version on the next occasion that they open Eco Materials Adviser.
The Full Version builds on the capabilities provided in the Base Version by enabling users to study assemblies of any size, to investigate materials options in greater depth using Granta's comprehensive database of around 3,000 materials, and to account for a wider range of contributions to environmental impact. Users can purchase the Full Version by following in-product links or by going directly to inventor.grantadesign.com.
