Overview
Sustainability is becoming increasingly crucial for all organizations. There are growing expectations of net zero targets and increased regulation, but organizations must balance cost and performance with sustainability. Any design process needs to consider both determining and reducing the product's environmental footprint. Organizations need sustainable products to meet these demands, satisfy customer wants, and work towards a more sustainable future.
This approach presents several challenges: How do you use the best materials available while trading off cost, performance, and environmental requirements? How do you ensure engineers across the organization are aware of sustainability demands and have the capability to consider them in their design? And how do you make this sustainability insight available as early as possible in the design process to avoid costly and time-consuming late-stage redesign?
In this webinar, we will use Ansys Granta Selector to carry out a straightforward assessment of a product's environmental impact at the earliest stages of design. We will rapidly explore design space and see the impact of different materials, processes, and designs on a simple bill of materials. We will also look at systematic material selection to choose a more sustainable material for a design while flagging key differences in cost, performance, or manufacturability. Engineers can work towards more sustainable designs without needing to be sustainability experts.
We will also briefly explore the reference data provided by Ansys for material selection and show how this can easily be transferred to Ansys simulation tools and third-party applications for design validation.
