Applying Materials Property Data for Performance, Cost, and Eco Design in Autodesk Inventor
Would you like to access and apply high quality materials property data within Autodesk Inventor?
Would you benefit from tools that make it easy to assess environmental impact, cost, and performance of your product?
Join our short web seminar (free of charge) to learn more about:
- Eco Materials Adviser—a new software tool within Autodesk Inventor 2012 that can analyze environmental impact and guide materials selection
- How this tool makes it simple for you to browse, search, and apply data from a comprehensive database of nearly 3,000 engineering materials—metals, composites, plastics, natural materials and more. Eco Materials Adviser uses this data in environmental analysis, but you can also apply it in other Inventor tools, such as stress analysis
- The importance of considering environmental performance and cost during the early stages of design, and how Eco Materials Adviser aids this process
Granta Design, a Cambridge University spin-off company and leader in materials information technology and eco design, has developed Eco Materials Adviser in close collaboration with Autodesk.
During the web seminar, Dr Jamie O'Hare from Granta will demonstrate the tool and discuss how it can help to address some critical regulatory, cost, and market drivers for today's product designers and engineers. The seminar will include a live Q&A session.

What will you learn at the web seminar?
- The benefits of accessing materials, process, and eco data within Autodesk Inventor, and details of Granta's unique materials database
- The commercial opportunities and regulatory pressures that are driving companies to improve the environmental performance of their products
- The importance of considering environmental performance during the early stages of design
- How the Eco Materials Adviser in Autodesk Inventor can be used to quickly identify environmental 'hotspots'
Who should attend?
Product designers and engineers—find out how to access and apply valuable materials data within Autodesk Inventor, and the importance of factoring environmental impact into product design and development. Materials properties can be used in other Inventor tools, such as stress analysis, and stored in Autodesk Vault. Such capabilities make it easy to combine consideration of product performance, cost, and eco design.
Eco design specialists and consultants—see a simple, fast eco design tool that aims to provide guidance during product design and that integrates with well-established materials selection methods. Discuss how such tools could complement more complex Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches, and how they might play a role in supporting eco design projects and in embedding eco design in your (or your clients') development process.
Environment, sustainability and compliance managers—learn how the Eco Materials Adviser tool can be deployed across you organization to help you achieve corporate targets for product sustainability improvement and comply with legislation such as the RoHS, WEEE, and ErP Directives.
