Ansys GRANTA Selector: A Platform for Smart Material Selection
To select the appropriate materials from the thousands of available options, it is necessary 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 barrier when considering new materials. Based on the idea that optimal product design is a 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 regulatory substance information, enables rapid material selection, which is a crucial element in manufacturing.

Applications/Examples of results
From a rich materials database, candidates that meet the objectives can be searched using keywords or property values, and by visualizing them through material characteristic charts and comparison tables, it becomes possible to systematically select materials that consider not only mechanical or thermal properties but also manufacturing methods, costs, environmental impact, and regulatory materials. Additionally, the charts and tables used for material selection, as well as the selection process, can be output as a report.
