Materials libraries in Ansys Mechanical

The MI Materials Gateway for Ansys Workbench is complementary but separate to the Materials Data Search (MDS) library in Ansys Mechanical. The MDS library provides generic materials data, whereas MI Materials Gateway provides access to your full Granta MI database system.

Note: The Engineering Data component in a Granta MI component system does not show any materials that have been assigned from client-side material libraries in Ansys Mechanical. It only includes materials that have been imported from a Granta MI database via MI Materials Gateway.
