Use the Selection Assistant to get search criteria
suggestions based on your design requirements. Describe the material
properties you need, and the assistant will recommend relevant
material Attributes.
Note: The Selection Assistant is an additional capability and is licensed separately
from Granta MI. In addition, the Selection Assistant is only available for the
MaterialUniverse table, and only if your data view has been configured to enable it.
If you want to use the Selection Assistant and it is not available, contact your

To use the Selection Assistant:

Open a custom search, ensure the MaterialUniverse data view is selected, and
click Selection Assistant.
-
Enter a description of the material properties you are looking for and
click Suggest Criteria.
You could type "I want a material for a drinks bottle. It needs
to be recyclable, have low environmental impact, and be stiff and
impermeable" and the assistant will suggest applicable Attributes
such as Young's Modulus and Climate Change (CO2-eq) (virgin grade
production).
Suggested criteria are ranked in order of confidence and a reason is provided
for each suggestion.
-
Select which criteria you would like to add to your custom search from the list
of results, and click Apply to Search.
The selected criteria will be added to a new group in your custom
search, called Suggested criteria.

Use the filter controls to set specific data values for these criteria.
