Key Benefits
All of your materials data in one, searchable, resource—save time finding data
Avoid lost data and duplication of tests, re-use corporate materials knowledge
Cost-effective and efficient multiuser access access to data from leading reference sources—
e.g., MaterialUniverse, CAMPUS, IDES
Optimize selection of plastics
Control—guarantee data security, ensure the right data is delivered to the right people, and manage changing data effectively
Eliminate errors by providing data to engineers and designers on their desktop, in the format that they require
What is the GRANTA MI:Plastics Package?
A package of GRANTA MI modules for the efficient management of your in-house materials data, integrated with reference data for plastics from leading industry sources.
You can build a single system, configured to your needs, to manage all of your proprietary materials data—from testing, QA, research, and beyond. Within the same system you can gain efficient multi-user access to leading sources of plastics data such as Granta's MaterialUniverse, and the CAMPUS and IDES databases. Use this integrated information resource to control and analyze your own data, or to select and compare plastics. All of this information can be accessed and applied from the engineering desktop—via web browser or from within your chosen CAD or CAE application.

| MI:Viewer | The core web browser-based user interface with tools to browse, query, report on, edit, import and export data to engineering software. |
| MI:Toolbox | Windows application supporting higher-intensity import, export, and processing tasks. |
Data—integrated access to the following leading data sources:
| MaterialUniverse | Comprehensive, generic materials data from Granta |
| CAMPUS Plastics | Plastic resin data measured according to ISO standards |
| ChemRes | Resistance of plastics to chemical / solvent environments |
| IDES Plastics | More than 70,000 polymer datasheets |
| Moldflow | Identifies plastics are compatible with Moldflow |
Additional options to consider
MI:Materials Gateway—if you need to access and apply data from within CAD, CAE and other third-party software.
MI:Substitute—find a replacement material to address issues such as obsolescence, supplier change, or regulation.
MI:Optimize—if you need tools to make better, more consistent materials choices, optimizing performance and cost.
You can configure a system to meet your specific needs using the full range of GRANTA MI system modules and compatible data »
