Webinar: Reduce Weight Using Optimal Material Selection
January 21 @ 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM
From aerospace to automotive to medical to high technology, the right materials and design make a huge difference in a product’s performance, cost, and sustainability. But how do you choose the best material? Sign up for this webinar to find out.

Overview
Materials and design go hand-in-hand—an optimal product is made from the combination of optimal design and materials. But, from the thousands of available materials, how do you decide which is the best for your application? How do you trade off competing performance, cost, and manufacturing requirements? And how do you take this material data forward into your simulations?
In this webinar, we’ll explore material selection with Ansys Granta Selector, using an example of an OEM lightweighting a component for automotive use to meet eco targets. We’ll see how to apply a systematic selection methodology to a typical product improvement, compare multiple material classes, and transfer material data to critical Ansys simulation applications.
We will also explore the diverse range of reference materials data provided by Ansys and available in Ansys Granta Selector, including metals, polymers, composites, and more.
