Who Uses CES Selector and Why?

Mechanical engineers, designers, materials specialists, and materials developers use CES Selector to achieve reductions in component cost, enhanced product performance, enhanced design quality, and design innovation.

You can use CES Selector with the MaterialUniverse & ProcessUniverse data module for general analysis and optimization applications. It is most effective in the early-stage design of products, when materials and processing options are open. In the redesign of components you can apply it to optimize use of materials technology to meet highest-performance / lowest-cost objectives.

You can also use Selector to validate a design approach - demonstrating that no material or processing option has been overlooked.

Selector's graphical property charts have proven to be an excellent means for specialists to communicate and gain support for new material and processing ideas within an organization. In this capacity, you can apply it in sales and marketing activities - for example, where a materials producer needs to demonstrate the competitive advantage of their product for a particular application.

Selector is used in detailed design tasks when coupled to custom databases (incorporating in-depth data in your field) or Granta data modules such as MMPDS and MIL-HDBK-17 or CAMPUS plastics.

You can also license Selector to disseminate engineering data - benefiting end-users with unique search and analysis capabilities over the data. You will, however, find that Granta's GRANTA MI product offers a more complete solution for web browser-based enterprise data deployment.
