Data management software

A package of GRANTA MI software, data, and services that provides a solution for the materials data management challenges faced by aerospace enterprises and those (e.g., in defense and energy) with similar requirements. Integrated in the same system are leading reference data sources for the metallic and composite materials used by these industries.For aerospace and other high-performance engineering applications, qualifying materials to meet certification and design requirements is a lengthy and costly process. Yet the expensive data associated with this process is often not captured systematically. A recent Granta survey found that, typically, 50% of such data is used once, then lost. Tests are often duplicated. The pedigree of data is not captured, so analyses and design decisions cannot be reliably repeated or audited. If data is not controlled, there can be consequences relating to regulations such as ITAR. Getting the correct data for engineering design or simulation can be time-consuming and error-prone, resulting in delays and risk. And it is hard for engineers and design teams to get a complete picture of materials issues, encompassing properties, cost, and factors such as restricted substance risk. Granta can help.
