Example solutions for aerospace & defense

Managing mission-critical data

Materials data is mission-critical in aerospace and defense. You need the right data, you need it up-to-date and accurate, you need it deployed to designers and engineers in a secure, controlled, but easily usable manner. And you need the data to be fully "traceable". The Materials Data Management Consortium is a group of leading aerospace, defense, and energy companies that work with Granta to develop a best-practice approach to meet these challenges - and the software system to support it, GRANTA MI.

Eco design and eco regulations

Every aerospace organization must now design with environmental regulations such as REACH in mind. Eco objectives are increasingly central to corporate goals. Materials are central to these issues, because regulation constrains what materials can be used, and because materials properties determine much of the environmental impact of products. The Environmental Materials Information Technology (EMIT) Consortium is developing and applying materials information technology solutions specifically focused on designing around environmental constraints for industries including aerospace.

Reference data for aerospace and defense

Reference data on materials properties is often required to support design or analysis in aerospace and defense. This information must be drawn from reliable, traceable sources. Often, these sources require regulatory approval. Granta provides easy, cost-effective, enterprise-wide access to key aerospace references such as MMPDS (formerly MIL-HDBK-5), MIL-HDBK-17, and ESDU MMDH. GRANTA MI even enables access to these data sources via your CAE, FEA or other third-party software. More...
