Contents Advanced selection methodsPrint page Advanced selection methods Advanced selection methods can be used to refine your material selection. This section contains the following topics:Using Engineering SolverConvert engineering requirements into material properties. Then use the resulting values in a limit stage to select appropriate materials.Creating an Eco Audit projectEvaluate the environmental impact of a product, and view guidance on how to reduce it.SynthesizerUse models to estimate the material properties of hybrid materials or the cost of components, enabling their performance to be compared with other materials in the MaterialUniverse database. You can predict the performance of hybrid materials and structures, and compare them with more conventional materials.Finding similar recordsYou can find materials that have similar property values to a selected material. « Reference RecordsUsing Engineering Solver »
