CES Selector is a PC software application that offers advanced graphical analysis of materials data, plus specialist eco design and modeling tools, in support of materials selection and substitution decisions. Rational selection—choose the right materials and processes for your application. Optimize performance, cost, and environmental properties. Materials replacement & substitution—replace materials that are obsolete, hard to source, expensive, or failing to meet performance objectives. Eco design—consider sustainability early in the design process, when changes matter most and cost least. Develop & position materials & structures—visualize property space to guide development plans and communicate the benefits of your materials. Materials data—browse, plot, and compare engineering, cost, and eco data for materials and processes. |
