Systematic Selection of Materials using Ansys Granta Selector

Experience, intelligent methods and extensive material databases

Overview

Training Basic

Learn how to derive material properties from product requirements and how to find suitable materials in a structured and reliable way. This training is offered as a 1-day course.

Duration
1 day

Prerequisites
None

Software used
Ansys Granta Selector, Ansys GRANTA Materials Data for Simulation

Benefits
  • Selecting materials according to economic and technical aspects
  • Determining product requirements & transferring these to material properties
  • Making systematic decisions, and qualifying risks
  • Using data from the Ansys Granta Selector within Ansys 

Description

The choice of material is of great importance for a component, representing a key part of the decision-making process during the design phase. Safety, reliability, ecological aspects and availability of a material are essential factors for the success of a product. Nowadays, material selection is particularly challenging, since on the hand an unmanageable number of materials has established itself on the market, and on the other hand the variety is constantly increasing due to numerous new developments.

In this training, you will learn how to use interactive diagram and comparison tools for over 4,000 engineering materials for design and simulation. We follow the methods of systematic material selection developed and established by Prof. Ashby. As part of an included EcoAudit tool, two important sustainability criteria - the carbon footprint and energy requirements - are examined for an entire bill of materials. Processing, transportation, application and disposal or recycling are also part of this EcoAudit. Finally, you will learn how to determine the best possible material with the lowest risk based on your own product requirements.

Detailed agenda for this 1-day training

Day 1

01 Material selection based on technical requirements and material properties

  • Material as the basis for innovation.
  • Properties and classification of materials
  • Workshop: Transfer of requirements from the application into requirements for material properties.
  • Making and justifying initial decisions for material selection

02 Integrated methods of analytical material preselection

  • Basics of the selection method according to Ashby
  • Workshop: Application of the Material Performance Indices in Ansys Granta Selector
  • Constraints in additional factors for the Material Performance Indices

03 EcoAudit and other helpful tools in the selection process

  • EcoAudit and Synthesizer tools in Ansys Granta Selector for material and process lists.
  • Overview of other useful tools in the material selection process
  • Workshop: Linking of independent selection process using favorite lists
  • Application through tasks by the participants

04 Risk assessment and further processing of data

  • Decision analysis
  • Risk assessment and risk analysis
  • Workshop: Transfer of required data and further processing in Excel and simulation
  • Interdisciplinary handling of material data in Ansys

Do you have questions on the training?

When will I receive the final confirmation for my training booking?

Straight after you sign up, an automatic confirmation of receipt will be sent to the email addresses you provided. Once you have successfully verified the data you provided, you will receive your personalized sign-up confirmation, containing further information on course fees, the billing address, etc., by email within two to three working days.  

As soon as the minimum number of attendees has been reached, you will receive a final training confirmation containing further information. If you have booked an on-site training, we recommend that you wait until you have received this final confirmation before booking your travel and accommodation.

If the minimum number of attendees is not reached, we reserve the right to cancel the training seven days before it is due to start at the latest. We are happy to inform you on changing your booking to an alternative date. Please note that we accept no liability for hotel or travel bookings that attendees have already made.

When is the sign-up deadline for a training?

Training places will generally be allocated based on the order in which attendees sign up. For this reason, we always recommend booking for your desired date as early as possible.

As long as a coures still has free places, it can be booked.

At what time do the training courses begin and end?

Usually the training courses start at 9:00 am and end at 5:00 pm of the respective local time. The actual course times will be stated in the booking confirmation. Please note that, depending on the training host, there may be a possible time shift between your and the provider's local time. Therefore all local times are provided with the valid time shift to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
