Get Materials Information

Granta helps you to

Get the materials reference information that you need

Get all relevant in-house materials data one place

Enable efficient enterprise-wide access to this valuable integrated information source

Materials specialists, engineers, designers, and managers in engineering enterprises all need access to information on materials (plastics, metals, composites, ceramics...).

You might require external reference information providing, for example, materials properties or pricing data. Detailed, reliable data in such specialized areas can be hard to find. It is scattered over a wide range of papers, journals, websites, and databases.

Alternatively, you may want to browse and search in-house data - for example, records of previous materials tests. Yet this information is often fragmented and held in different spreadsheets, databases, documents, and even hard-copy filing systems.

Get the materials information that you need - from external references and diverse internal data sources

Granta helps you to get all of the materials information that you need in one place and to access it enterprise-wide in an efficient and effective manner.

You've got the data that you need - now what?

For some organizations, the only requirement is to enable efficient access to external and/or proprietary materials data. Most enterprises, however, find that this data is not a static resource, but is ever-changing, needing to be managed, analyzed, and controlled. In many cases, companies do not just want a passive database that can be 'looked up' by engineers who are seeking data - they want to actively deploy data into the computer-aided engineering and other software that these engineers use in their routine workflows. Finally, the value of information is only realized when people use it effectively - Granta provides tools that help you to make better materials decisions.
