CES Aero Selector

Specialist edition for high-performance engineering

CES Aero Selector is a specialist edition of the leading materials and process selection software that helps engineers and materials experts in high-performance engineering industries. As its name suggests, a key focus is aerospace and data about the alloys, composites, and ceramics designed for use in that industry. But many of these materials also find uses in other applications where reliable mechanical performance under extreme conditions is important - examples include motorsports, defense, and nuclear energy.

Aero Selector Components

CES Selector software

The core CES selection software provides tools to browse, search, and interact with materials data plus powerful selection capabilities that implement the Ashby selection methodology.

Aerospace property data

MaterialUniverse and ProcessUniverse - Granta's comprehensive data modules providing properties for a complete range of materials and processes - ideal for broad-based comparisons and initial screening during materials selection.

MMPDS-02 (formerly Mil-Handbook-5) - the authoritative source of aerospace design allowables for alloys and fasteners.

Mil-Handbook-17 - over 1,000 records of test data for polymer matrix, metal matrix, and ceramic matrix composites.

ESDU MMDH (optional) - the preeminent European source of design strength data for metallic materials in aerospace.

For the latest developments see the summary of CES Selector 2007.
