Contents ToolsPrint page Tools This section introduces the tools and features for advanced selection methods in Granta Selector. This section contains the following topics:Engineering SolverThe Engineering Solver can be used to convert engineering requirements into material properties.Eco AuditEco Audit allows you to quickly evaluate the environmental impact of a product, and provides guidance on how to reduce it.SynthesizerSynthesizer enables product designers and material engineers to readily predict the performance of hybrid materials and structures, and compare them with more conventional materials.Adding User Material DataIn addition to using records supplied in the Granta Selector databases, you can also add in your own data by creating a user-defined record within a selection project.Find Similar RecordsFind Similar is a tool for finding material records that have similar material property values to a given record.Export to CAD/CAEThe data values from one or more material records can be exported from Granta Selector to certain supported third-party CAD/CAE software packages.Integration with Ansys WorkbenchInstances of Granta Selector can be opened as project components from Ansys Workbench, and selection results exported back into the project as Engineering Data.Working with Ansys DiscoveryGranta Selector can be launched from Ansys Discovery, and selection results exported into the correct format. « Highlighting reference record on a chartEngineering Solver »
