The Design Database for Products within the Ansys Granta EduPack Software
Designers often look at materials differently than engineers, due to how they interact with them during the product-design process. This lecture showcases the features of the Design database in Ansys Granta EduPack™, a teaching software for materials education. This database (formerly known as the PMP database) was created to support design and product development-focused courses. It is more visual and image-based than the other databases of the Ansys Granta EduPack software, with multiple ways to view material data depending on the course needs. The presentation emphasizes the database-specific information, such as a products dataset (including producers) and aesthetic data (i.e. if a material feels hard or soft, cold or warm).
