Intro to Material Science & Engineering in Ansys Granta EduPack
The Ansys Granta EduPack Materials Science and Engineering (MS&E) database is designed to support introductory materials science teaching. The relationship between Processing, Structure and Properties is at its core. There are six main focus areas: elements, materials, processes, property-process profiles, phase diagrams, and materials selection. Features unique to this database include the Phase Diagram focus area, with its interactive Lever Rule tool, and the Property-Process Profiles, which highlights the important connection between properties and common processing techniques. This presentation goes over the details of this database, the organization of the data, and how the new tools can be used to teach various introductory materials science topics.
