MaterialUniverse Data
View/print an overview of the Universe Data Series (PDF, 1.62Mb) »
Granta’s MaterialUniverse offers materials data of unique
quality, breadth, and completeness. It provides engineering, economic, and environmental property profiles designed for like-to-like comparisons across the whole spectrum of material and processing possibilities. It is constructed using Granta's
design principles and CES Selector technology. Universe
data avoids the pitfalls
of conventional data sources, such as 'holes in the data'.
Design and research engineers find Universe data ideal for analysis of material and process options at the conceptual and redesign stages of product development. “You just showed in 5 minutes what took us 3 weeks of conventional analysis” is a typical comment.
Materials specialists use this data to research material and processing options outside their areas of specialist expertise and as a resource for in-house or external consulting.
Materials developers use the data to map the world of existing materials, assess the prospects of new ones for specific engineering applications, and to communicate the benefits of new materials to customers and colleagues.
