Ansys GRANTA Selector: A Platform for Smart Material Selection
To select the appropriate materials from the myriad of options available, it is essential to quickly obtain information on material prices, environmental impacts, and related similar materials. However, this research requires a significant amount of time, making it a high hurdle when considering new materials. Based on the idea that optimal product design is the combination of "optimal materials" and "optimal design," the Ansys GRANTA Selector, which combines a database centered around the MaterialUniverse encyclopedia curated by materials specialists with a user interface that supports the search, visualization, filtering, and comparison of rich data such as physical properties, manufacturing methods, target products, costs, environmental impact, and information on regulated substances, enables rapid material selection, a crucial element in manufacturing.

Applications/Examples of results
From a rich materials database, it is possible to systematically select materials by searching for candidate materials that match specific purposes using keywords and physical property values. This selection process takes into account not only mechanical or thermal material properties but also manufacturing methods, costs, environmental impact, and regulatory materials, by visualizing the information through material characteristic charts and comparison tables. Additionally, the charts and tables used for material selection, as well as the selection procedures, can be output as a report.
