CES Selector is the industry standard tool for material selection and graphic analysis of material parameters. It is used to develop innovative and better products, to quickly find solutions to material issues, to confirm and validate a material selection and to reduce material and development costs. "Altair's customers will benefit from the knowledge of the material experts across all sectors in the entire product development and in the individual design phases," said Marian Bulla, Program Manager for Material Data at Altair. “Granta's technology enables improved and leaner processes as well as time savings because all the information required is available in a single workflow. With CES Selector, users can drive innovationsby confirming and validating your choice of materials, solving material problems, checking material options and focusing on the most promising solutions in the early design phase.”

Structured and precise approach to material selection

CES Selector offers access to a unique, comprehensive and linked "reference book" of material data, combined with graphic tools for the comparison and preselection of materials and enables a structured and precise approach to material selection. The tool also provides access to complete and comparable data of all classes of technical materials, including economic and environmental information. Powerful display options enable graphic comparisons of material behavior, and component geometry and load conditions can also be taken into account in the material selection process.

The right combination of materials increases driving pleasure

Correct material selection helps to minimize costs

"Simulation enables many companies to free themselves from the dependency on physical tests," said Charlie Bream, Senior Product Manager for CES Selector at Granta Design. “So far, however, attention has only been paid to the basic material selection to a limited extent, and users often use the materials that they have used before. This hinders innovation and can lead to sub-optimal products. We are pleased to be able to address this issue with CES Selector as part of the Altair Partner Alliance. Hyper Works users can now identify and review the most suitable materials for their application, even before they start detailed simulations.”

CES Selector is used in many industries, including consumer goods, medicine, automotive, aerospace, and many others. Many customers in the manufacturing industry want a way to quickly get an overview of all materials in order to identify the most promising solution even if they have not yet invested much time in a design. When developing a new product, new materials are often considered to solve problems with existing products, to overcome delivery problems or as part of a company's cost, environmental or other initiative. Regardless of why new materials are being researched, choosing the right material right from the start of the process helps minimize costs. (yup)
