How to Select the Best Material for your Product Design and R&D using Granta Selector
Featuring
Choose the Right Material Early: Smarter Material Selection with Ansys Granta Selector
Choosing a material by habit or relying only on a supplier datasheet can lock in cost, weight, performance and compliance issues long before the first prototype is built. Ansys Granta Selector helps product and materials teams make faster, more defensible material decisions by comparing candidates against real design requirements using comprehensive technical, economic and environmental property data.
What You'll Learn
- How to screen, rank and compare materials in Ansys Granta Selector
- How to identify suitable substitutes when cost, supply or regulations change
- How to carry simulation-ready material data forward into Ansys workflows
- 2026 R1 enhancements: expanded metals, polymers, composites and additive-manufacturing data; updated restricted-substance and sustainability information; improved export for LS-DYNA and Thermal Desktop
Target Audience
Product designers, design and materials engineers, R&D teams and researchers involved in material selection, product development or design-for-manufacture.
